化学文科学士学位

与化学学士学位相比，化学学士学位（BA）的综合程度较低。它为工业，政府机构，环境研究和职业预科课程的职业准备提供了机会。不建议计划学习化学或相关领域研究生的学生使用。它不符合美国化学会批准的化学学位标准。该学位要求的最低学期学分（包括核心课程要求）为120，其中至少39个必须在高年级。所有主要和辅助工作课程都必须以“ C”或更高的成绩完成。
Roadrunners seeking a Chemistry degree may choose from either the B.S. in Chemistry or a B.A. in Chemistry. The B.S. meets the minimum requirements for professional chemists through an official certification by the American Chemical Society.<br>Both programs are designed to ensure career opportunities in environmental studies, government agencies, teaching industry, medical technology, pre-professional programs, or can pave the way for graduate study in chemistry or other related fields. Internships allow you to obtain work experience, explore a chosen career path and increase your marketability to employers. Students can access Handshake, UTSA's jobs portal, to search for jobs and internships and recruiting and event information. UTSA's Career Center has a COS career counselor who provides internship opportunities and advice to students across every science major. The mission of the Department of Chemistry is to expand the frontiers of the chemical sciences by promoting discovery and collaboration through research, to inspire and educate the next generation to be excellent, responsible, and ethical chemists, and to maintain a respectful, inclusive, and collegial environment for the sharing of ideas among our students, colleagues, and the greater community.<br>The B.A. Degree in Chemistry provides a more general curriculum that may be used by students to apply chemistry to fields that require a technical background and knowledge. These include such areas as teaching secondary physical science (see UTeachSA), technical communications, public information and outreach, biotechnology, and forensic and environmental chemistry. This program can be a good option for students who plan to earn an additional degree or enter medical school.
