Chemistry is the study of the composition, structure, properties, and reactions of matter and substances, especially of atomic and molecular systems. It is an inspiring and diverse field of study the science of change. If your ambition is to attend medical, dental or law school, the BA degree will offer more flexibility in choosing other premedical/predental courses. The BA can also be supplemented with senior research and perhaps a graduate course in chemistry and can adequately prepare one for a career in chemistry. The BA is also flexible enough to allow students to have a double major.
