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 biochemistry, a
student must satisfy the requirements listed in the ACT/SAT Placement
