Understand the world around you — at the atomic level.

Chemists create the fabric of our everyday lives, contributing to the production of chemicals, materials and products that substantiate our existence. Chemists study substances at the atomic and molecular levels to develop new and improved products, test the quality of manufactured goods and develop new theories.

The Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Chemistry at App State develops confident, skilled chemists adept at understanding chemistry concepts and solving problems. 

Chemists learn best in a lab setting, and App State’s degree program will challenge you to reach far beyond classroom chemistry theory and experimentation — you’ll quickly learn your way around our advanced labs and equipment, with research time being spent alongside faculty and creatively exploring chemistry’s real-world applications.

You’ll add a foreign language to your degree to give yourself a greater global perspective. A minor will increase your interdisciplinary skills.

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts 6% job growth in the chemical industry over the next decade.
