My daughter is a sophomore majoring in Chemistry and is trying to fit in a semester abroad in England next spring. She is considering getting a BA in Chemistry, rather than a BS in Chemistry because she cannot fulfill all the requirements for a BS in Chemistry in time to graduate as expected in May 2013. (At her college, not all classes are given both fall and spring semesters, and some are prerequisites to others). Her goal is to go to grad school in chemistry. Will her chances be significantly reduced in getting in a good grad school program in chemistry if she doesn’t get a B.S.?
