Chemistry B.A.
Chemistry is the study of matter and the physical changes that matter undergoes. Chemical reactions occur every day and in every aspect of life: respiration, metabolism and growth in living systems, combustion in cars and heating plants, pharmaceutical and polymer production, and the conversion of raw materials to usable products. Chemistry is an important and central subject. Students who are interested in health sciences such as medicine, pharmacy, dentistry, and related fields need to take several semesters of chemistry. Students who like scientific and technical subjects, and who have a solid math and science background from high school, are best prepared to major in chemistry. Students
