The Bachelor of Arts (BA) and Bachelor of Science (BS) in Chemistry at The Ohio State University are undergraduate programs offered through the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the College of Arts and Sciences. The BS degree is designed for students aiming to become professional chemists, emphasizing rigorous coursework in chemistry, mathematics (calculus, analytic geometry, differential equations), and physics. The BA degree features a broader liberal arts curriculum with fewer advanced chemistry credits and is often chosen by students preparing for careers in health sciences, education, pharmacy, law, or as foundational study for graduate or professional programs. Both degrees include opportunities for advanced laboratory work, undergraduate research, and specialized Honors courses for qualified students. Graduates are prepared for direct employment, entry into graduate research programs (Master's/PhD), or professional degrees in medicine, pharmacy, engineering, business, or law. 来源： https://chemistry.osu.edu/graduate/chemistry
