Opportunities Upon Graduation
Students with a B.S. degree in chemistry–predentistry typically go on to dental school. However, other higher education and career opportunities also exist depending upon the interest of the graduate.
Upon completing the requirements for the B.S. degree with a major in chemistry, you are eligible for professional status in the American Chemical Society. Completion of a B.A. degree in chemistry does not qualify you for certification.
