As a chemistry student, you'll explore the characteristics, makeup, and interactions of various substances across the four core chemistry disciplines: analytical, inorganic, organic, and physical chemistry. At Michigan State University, undergraduates can select between a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science in chemistry. The BA option offers a broader chemistry education, while the BS provides deeper specialization. Those aiming to teach high school chemistry typically pursue the BA track. The BS program delivers comprehensive training in chemistry and related sciences, preparing students for careers in chemical industries, government labs, or advanced graduate studies. This degree meets American Chemical Society standards, with most BS graduates continuing into PhD programs.
