文学学士（BA）学位是为寻求扎实的化学背景以便进入医学院或与化学有关的其他领域的学生而设计的。该课程还可以通过其他化学选修课来增强，以提供进入化学研究生课程的必要背景。通过学习其他课程（包括额外的实验室经验），文学士学位可以满足美国化学学会（ACS）的ACS认证要求。化学系隶属于凯斯西储大学的文理学院。与学院内所有学位课程一样，学士学位候选人必须满足SAGES要求，获得39个学分的课程功课。化学课程必须另外累积31-32学分。还必须获得数学和科学课程的额外学分。其余的45-46个学分可用于选修课，以使学生
The Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Chemistry degree program is designed for a student who seeks a solid background in chemistry in order to enter medical school or some other field related to chemistry. The program may also be enhanced by additional Chemistry Electives to provide the background necessary for admission to graduate programs in Chemistry.

The program may also be enhanced by additional chemistry electives to provide the background necessary for admission to graduate programs in chemistry. The BA degree can fulfill the requirements of the American Chemical Society (ACS) for ACS certification upon taking additional courses, including additional laboratory experience.<br><br>The BA program in chemistry is intended for pre-professional students who plan careers in medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine, pharmacy, or other fields for which a baccalaureate degree in chemistry provides appropriate training. BA majors may supplement their required courses with additional chemistry courses or may utilize the curriculum's flexibility to develop an interdisciplinary program of their choice. <br><br>The Department of Chemistry is part of the College of Arts and Sciences at Case Western Reserve University. As common to all degree programs within the college, the BA degree candidates must fulfill 39 credits of coursework for the SAGES requirements. An additional 31-32 credit hours must be accumulated in chemistry courses. Additional credits of math and science courses must also be taken. The remaining 45-46 credits are available for electives to allow the student to either specialize in pre-professional areas or to earn a second degree.
