Bachelor of Arts in Chemistry
Overview
The Bachelor of Arts in Chemistry degree is offered for students who are planning careers that require a sound background in fundamental chemistry, but not at the depth of the B.S. degree. The B.A. is particularly suited for those who plan to go into areas such as secondary education, technical sales, science writing, chemical patent law and forensic sciences. The B.A. in Chemistry requires 44 units of Chemistry courses, and 16 units of related courses.
Chemistry/Pre MBA Program
A student may combine a B.A. in chemistry with a minor in Business Administration to qualify to enroll in and complete an MBA degree at CSUF in one additional year (33 units), provided all entrance requirements for the MBA program have been met. See your department adviser for details.
