The B.S. degree requires 127 hours, concentrates more on the major area (chemistry or biochemistry), and requires fewer non-technical electives. The B.A. degree requires 120 total hours and less concentration on your major. The B.S. degree is usually chosen by students wishing to pursue a professional career in science, whereas the B.A. is chosen by students interested in the health professions. The course requirements and degree plans for each degree can be found in the Undergraduate Course Catalog.
