Students pursuing a Chemistry degree at Roadrunners can select between a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) or Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) in Chemistry. The B.S. program fulfills professional chemist qualifications with American Chemical Society certification.
Both degrees prepare graduates for diverse careers in environmental science, government roles, education, medical technology, pre-professional tracks, or advanced studies in chemistry and related disciplines. Internships provide valuable work experience, career exploration, and enhanced employability. Through UTSA's Handshake platform, students can browse job postings, internships, and recruitment events. The College of Sciences career counselor offers specialized guidance and internship resources for all science majors. The Chemistry Department's vision focuses on advancing chemical knowledge through innovative research, fostering ethical scientific leadership, and maintaining an inclusive academic community.
The B.A. in Chemistry offers a flexible curriculum for applying chemical principles to technical fields like secondary education (via UTeachSA), science communication, public outreach, biotechnology, and forensic/environmental chemistry. This pathway suits students considering dual degrees or medical school preparation.
