Degree offered at: Campbellsville

The chemistry program offers students a choice between a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree or a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) degree. Students wishing to pursue a graduate degree in chemistry or employment in the chemical industry should pursue the B.S. degree. The B.A. degree is designed for those students seeking secondary education certification in chemistry as well as for several pre-professional majors (pre-dental, pre-medical, pre-pharmacy, etc.). Students pursuing careers in dentistry, medicine, and pharmacy generally major in chemistry with a minor in biology or the converse.
