化学(BA)
Insatiable, Lifelong Learning
Our 化学 program is designed to promote 和 support your intellectual curiosity now 和 throughout your career, develop an ability to solve problems efficiently, 和 communicate the nuances of chemistry effectively with all audiences. Our graduates enter the workplace with a clear underst和ing of the place of chemistry within natural science 和 a comprehension of the relationship between natural science, 环境, 和 the rest of human culture.
The ACS-approved degree requires the core major plus six additional credit hours. Students completing the additional credits will be certified to ACS upon graduation 和 are immediately eligible to join ACS. Students who intend to pursue graduate studies in chemistry or who desire a nationally certified degree should consider the additional course work.

- For those students who wish to earn the ACS certified degree, BIOL 202 (4 credits) is also required as a prerequisite for BIOL 420.
The core major provides a firm background for entry into the chemistry job market, for advanced study in the discipline, for advanced study in a related discipline, or a foundation for various professional schools such as 医学, 牙科, 兽医, 法律 or library science.
In addition to fulfilling the requirements of the major in 化学, as well as the College of Liberal 艺术 & 科学 general education requirements, you'll be required to complete the College's First Year Experience Program or Transfer Student Program.
化学 as a double major is available to any AU student. To earn a 化学 double major, take all courses listed below, totaling 50-55 credits. All 化学 double majors complete a common core 和 related courses.
All courses taken as part of the 化学 major must be passed with a grade of C or better; transferred courses not already described in pre-existing articulation agreements must have approval from the Division of 化学 to receive major credit. Any lab courses indicated as having been delivered in an online format are not accepted by the Division of 化学.
