Bachelor of Arts [B.A] [Chemistry] From University of Rochester

The Bachelor of Arts Chemistry at the University of Rochester.program makes fewer specifications at the advanced level than the B.S. degree and encourages a wide range of elective courses. It is particularly suitable for students with interdisciplinary scientific interests in the health professions, biology, physics, geological sciences, engineering, or education. B.A. students may elect advanced courses in chemistry, including independent research, and can, thereby, create a curriculum best suited to their individual interests.

Located in Hutchison Hall on the University of Rochester's River Campus, the Chemistry Department's modern instrumentation facility provides a stimulating work environment and is equipped with a wide variety of sophisticated research instrumentation for spectroscopy, analysis, and computation. All of the departmental instruments are used by students and faculty in a "hands-on" way, and most are available 24 hours a day.

The opportunities for student use of major state-of-the-art instrumentation represents one of the special strengths of Rochester Chemistry. The Department acquires the most up-to-date equipment through a series of instrumentation grants from the National Science Foundation, the National Institutes of Health, and other donors.
