Chemistry B.A. - Chemistry Education
The courses required for the B.A. degree provide a less extensive training in chemistry than do the courses required for the American Chemical Society certified B.S. degree. This is to allow the student to supplement his or her program with courses that meet his or her specific needs. This concentration provides the core of traditional preparation in chemistry together with the Teacher Education Program. It is strongly advised that students using this degree obtain faculty advice in planning their program.
- This concentration contains additional course requirements designed to meet state standards. Those interested in teaching in K-12 schools must complete the education/teaching concentration of a major in a teaching content area plus the Teacher Education Program through the Department of Teaching and Learning. Additional teaching areas can be added through completion of the education/teaching concentration of a major or education/teaching minor in that content area.

To complete this education concentration , you need to contact the Teaching and Learning Department. Approvals for this track must come from the Teaching and Learning Department.
