OUTLINE OF PROGRAM OF STUDY The Bachelor of Science degree emphasizes lab work and independent research. This degree is recommended for those intending to pursue graduate school, pharmacy school, or forensics work. The Bachelor of Arts degree emphasizes a broad education. Required lab work is less for a Bachelor of Arts degree than it is for a Bachelor of Science degree. This degree is recommended for those intending to enter law school or earn a teaching certificate. Students earning either degree must satisfy both departmental and college requirements.
