Hello PharmDream,
I have a doubt.....I'am actually in the process of completing my AA(this summer).......and then do I need to apply for the BS or BA program or is the procedure different?Actually I've finished most of the pre-requisites for the BS program except physics and cal 2.Now can I directly enroll and do the requirements for BS.......Any help would be appreciated.Can I apply in the fall for the BS program?Thank you.
When I enrolled into the B.S. program I already has Calculus 2, Physics, and all the electives done, so for me if I could have gotten a B.A. in one year. Then again I don't know if I would have wanted to do that because I would have had to take more credits each semester and my GPA could have possibly went down.
About the acceptance into the program:
At the University at Buffalo if you want to apply without having all the prerequisites for the program the system will put chemistry as the intended major, and you can still take the program classes. I don't know what kind of system your school has. I would recommend meeting with the advisor for the program to discuss this.
Another problem that you might have if you have not taken calculus 2 yet, is that calculus 2 and even calculus 3 (which can be taken at the same time as physical chemistry) are prerequisites for physical chemistry. In a big university like UB nobody checks to see if you have met the prerequisites for chemistry classes, and I know people who got away without taking it (although I don't think that they can graduate without taking it). It would be a lot harder too if you don't have the prerequisites.
