Special curricula; major codes BS3314, BA3314
To major in chemistry and prepare for admission to medical school, you can complete either of two programs: one leading to a B.S. and the other to a B.A. degree. Variations on these programs are possible; consult your advisor. See also the Biological Sciences premedicine major.
