Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science in Chemistry

About the B.A. and B.S. in Chemistry Degree

Cedarville offers two degrees in chemistry, both taught from a biblical worldview: a Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science.

• The B.A. in chemistry will prepare you for careers in health professions, technical business professions, and other science-related vocations.
• The B.S. in chemistry will prepare you for graduate study in chemistry and for careers in industry or research. You will receive training in each of the primary areas of chemistry with the necessary support in mathematics, physics, and biology.

Whichever you choose, you will see sciences as a means to understand creation and its Creator and discover how you can use your chosen vocation to glorify God.

Chemistry Program Highlights

Biblical — You will learn how chemistry and Scripture intersect through courses that integrate the Bible and recognize God’s Word as the ultimate source of truth.

State-of-the-art equipment — You will learn in seven state-of-the-art, newly constructed chemistry laboratories and receive hands-on training on modern equipment used in the field of chemistry. Dedicated space and easy access to analytical instruments allow students to work on independent research projects.

Customizable — You can customize your chemistry degree by choosing a specialized program. Adding a customized focus allows you to go deeper in your areas of interest, which will give you an edge in graduate — or medical — school, or in your vocation. You can choose to focus on agriculture, premedical, or one of our prehealth specializations (predental, preoptometric, preosteopathic, prephysical therapy, prephysician assistant, or preveterinary).
