"A certified degree in chemistry is a valuable personal credential which serves as national-level recognition for successfully completing a rigorous academic chemistry curriculum in an ACS-approved department. In many college and university chemistry departments more than one path is offered for a chemistry, biochemistry or related major. The program that results in an ACS-certified degree invariably is the more demanding one. The extra rigor and additional requirements of the certified degree are valued by potential employers and graduate schools alike". Excerpted from the ACS website on Approved Programs.
