与ACS认证的BS学位所需的课程相比，文学士学位所需的课程提供的化学培训较少。这使学生可以用满足其特定需求的课程来补充其课程。因此，该学位提供了化学传统备考的核心，并为跨学科领域或教师备课计划中的组合提供了自由。强烈建议使用此学位的学生在计划课程时获得教师的建议。
The courses required for the B.A. degree provide a less extensive training in chemistry than do the courses required for the ACS certified B.S. degree. This allows the student to supplement his or her program with courses that meet his or her specific needs. Thus this degree provides the core of traditional preparation in chemistry together with latitude for combination in an interdisciplinary field or in the Teacher Preparation program. It is strongly advised that students using this degree obtain faculty advice in planning their program.The courses required for the B.A. degree provide a less extensive training in chemistry than do the courses required for the American Chemical Society certified B.S. degree.
