Chemistry is the study of the fundamental building blocks of life and nature. In this field, you'll examine components of the atom and learn how those atoms are bonded together to create materials that make up everyday life. Chemistry is often called the "central science" as one learns about atomic and sub-atomic particles from Physics while learning about the organic processes of nature from Biology. To provide a learning experience beyond the traditional classroom environment, the department promotes the involvement of undergraduates in research programs. For those students who desire a broader background in the liberal arts in preparation for further education in the health professions, business, law, etc., the B.A. degree with a major in chemistry offers significantly more social science courses and requires significantly less chemistry than the B.S. degrees. The required math and science courses are identical to those of the ACS Certified degree up to CHE 4321/4127 with the exception that MTH 3325 is not required. After CHE 4321/4127, you must complete 9 semester hours of upper level chemistry, including 1 semester of 4151 or 4152 and at least 2 semester hours of laboratory. Please see the Baylor University Undergraduate Catalog for complete details of the requirements outside math and science. Please note that some electives at the 3000 or 4000 level will be necessary to satisfy the 36 hour upper-level requirement.
