BA Chemistry — Pre-Med (MCHA), Pre-Den (DCHA), Pre-Opt (OCHA)
The BA Chemistry (CHMA) curriculum provides a strong background in chemistry while allowing students to specialize in areas of interest. For the Pre-Medicine (MCHA), Pre-Dentistry (DCHA), and Pre-Optometry (OCHA) options, a robust curriculum in general, organic, analytical, and biochemistry is complemented with courses in microbiology, genetics, and the flexibility to choose from a wide array of electives that prepare students for entrance into health professional schools.
