schools readily admit individuals with strong science
backgrounds to their graduate programs.
To help students better tailor their undergraduate program to
eventual career goals, the department offers eight degree
programs. Bachelor of Science programs in chemistry (ACS
track) or biochemistry (ACS or standard tracks) are designed
for students who plan a career as a professional chemist or
biochemist, or those who intend to work toward a graduate
degree. The BS degrees in chemistry and biochemistry (ACS
tracks) are designed to comply with ACS guidelines. The BS
degree in chemistry (teaching track) is designed to lead to
certification as a secondary chemistry teacher. The BS degree
leading to physical science certification is designed to prepare
students to teach physics, chemistry, and related subjects in
grades 8-12. The BA degree in biochemistry and the BS degree
in biochemistry (health science track) are designed for students
who are preparing to enter professional schools of medicine,
dentistry, pharmacy or optometry, or for those who wish to
enter the biotechnology or pharmaceutical industries. A "fast-
track" cooperative degree in biochemistry allows students to
enter professional schools after three years at ACU.
Study Abroad Expectations
All students are encouraged to participate in ACU's Study
Abroad program. Classes offered at Study Abroad sites vary
depending on the site. Academic advisors can assist students in
planning ahead for their Study Abroad experience and should
be consulted during the freshman year.
Bachelor of Science Degrees (BS)
Admission Requirements
Before being admitted to the program in chemistry or bio-
chemistry, a student must satisfy the requirements listed in the
ACT/SA T Placement Information section of this catalog (page
19).
