BA/BS in Chemistry

Chemistry at Clark explores the structure and properties of matter, from tiny particles to DNA. Students can begin research early and work with professors on new findings using equipment such as an NMR spectrometer. Majors choose between two tracks. The track certified by the American Chemical Society fits the requirements for graduate study and suits students aiming at a career in chemical sciences. The standard track allows more flexibility in course choices and is appropriate for students planning other paths. The department's faculty includes an ACS fellow and a winner of a regional chemistry teaching award. An accelerated 4+1 option offers a route to a master's degree after one more year, with tuition scholarships. The page text refers to a bachelor of arts, while the title lists a B.S.
