Chemistry & Secondary Education (B.A.S.)

The goal of the Salve B.A.S. in Chemistry and Secondary Education is to provide a curriculum that, in four years, gives students a solid foundation in chemistry and also the coursework necessary for certification to teach chemistry at the secondary level. To earn the double major in Chemistry and Secondary education, students complete the courses required for a B.A. in Chemistry and must also meet the requirements for secondary education. It is considered crucial that graduates be fully-trained chemists, capable of working in a range of technical positions outside of secondary education. The curriculum also seeks to expand the scientific background/perspective of graduates by requiring courses in other general scientific disciplines including Math and Physics.

Chemistry & Secondary Education (B.A.S.) majors complete a minimum of 120 credits to earn a bachelor's degree, including 41–44 credits of core courses, 51 credits of chemistry courses, and 43 credits of secondary education courses. See Education Department for requirements of the Secondary Education (B.A.S.) major.
