Chemistry Course Degree
The chemistry course degree leads to the Bachelor of Science-Chemistry. The chemistry course degree curriculum, set entirely by the Department of Chemistry, lacks the liberal arts breadth of the chemistry major; however, the degree's requirements are more comprehensive in chemistry. Please consult the undergraduate advisor for additional information, as this degree is currently undergoing development.
Teaching Chemistry in Secondary Schools
Combined with the courses required for teacher certification, the chemistry major and the chemistry course degree both qualify the student to teach chemistry in secondary schools. Please consult the School of Education for more information about teacher certification requirements.
