Chemistry, B.A.

California State University - Fullerton

The Bachelor of Arts in Chemistry degree is for students who are planning careers that require a sound background in fundamental chemistry, but not at the depth of the B.S. degree. The Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry is designed to be a rigorous and contemporary curriculum that is responsive to future developments, reflecting the interdisciplinary nature and diversity of the chemical sciences, thus enabling students to become successful professionals, scholars, scientifically literate citizens and leaders. The curriculum provides a hands-on approach where students learn by doing. Special emphasis is placed on the importance of chemistry in biological science and the degree is capped by an authentic research experience, preparing students for scientific careers, graduate studies or professional programs. Students preparing for health-related fields (e.g., medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine) or those who desire an advanced degree (M.S., Ph.D.) in biochemistry, biology or the health sciences receive excellent preparation from this degree program.
