The Chemistry program at the University of Chicago offers both BA and BS degrees, providing a comprehensive foundation in inorganic, organic, and physical chemistry. Analytical chemistry is integrated into the program, and both degrees emphasize the interdependence of experimental and theoretical approaches. The BA allows for broader elective and interdisciplinary opportunities, suitable for students interested in areas such as biochemistry, biophysics, geochemistry, education, or pre-medicine, and is well-suited for double majors. The BS program is more intensive and is designed for students seeking deeper focus, including options for American Chemical Society (ACS) accreditation or specialized tracks (Physical, Organic, Inorganic, Materials, or Chemical Biology). Both degrees prepare students for further study or careers in chemistry and related fields.
