The courses in chemistry and physics are designed to prepare individuals for a variety of postbaccalaureate options. The Bachelor of Science degree is for individuals who are seeking employment as chemical or physical professionals, or who wish to continue studies toward a Masters or Ph.D. Students who are looking to pursue a further degree in law, medicine, dentistry, or pharmaceuticals will find either the B.S. degrees in chemistry or physics or the Bachelor of Arts in Chemistry as an option for entry into the appropriate post-baccalaureate program. The Bachelor of Science Education degrees will lead to a rewarding career in secondary science education. In many of these programs, there are sufficient elective hours to allow students to customize their degrees for careers as diverse as technical
librarians, salesmen, writers, or translators.

Arkansas State University is on the approved list of the Committee on Professional Training (CPT) of the American Chemical Society. For certification of the completion of CPT standards for the B.S. degree in chemistry, students are recommended to take calculus-based physics.

Recommended Program for Pre-Medical and Pre-Dental Students

Students who wish to pursue a Doctor of Medicine or Doctor of Dentistry degree after finishing their baccalaureate studies are recommended to follow the program requirements for a Bachelor of Science in either chemistry or physics (see Pre-Professional Studies Emphasis Area in the listed degree requirements). Those who are seeking a Doctor of Pharmacy degree are recommended to pursue a Bachelor of Arts in Chemistry degree.
