The Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree requires fewer semester hours in chemistry than a Bachelor os science (BS) degree. A BA degree gives the option of taking non-calculus based physics to satisfy the physics requirement. BA majors may also, with the permission of the department, substitute a physics course (at the 200 level or above) or a course in molecular biology (at the 300-level or above) for one course in chemistry. For further details, go to the Courses link in the left navigation bar under Programs.
