Students pursuing a Chemistry degree at UTSA can select between a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) or Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) in Chemistry. The B.S. program fulfills the professional standards for chemists as certified by the American Chemical Society. Both degree paths prepare graduates for diverse career options in environmental science, government roles, education, healthcare technology, pre-professional tracks, or advanced studies in chemistry and related disciplines.
Internship programs enable students to gain practical experience, test potential career paths, and enhance their employability. Through Handshake, UTSA's career platform, students can browse job postings, internship openings, and recruitment events. The College of Sciences career advisor at UTSA's Career Center offers specialized guidance and internship resources for all science majors.
