The following is from the American Chemical Society's website:
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.
Over 600 chemistry programs in colleges and universities in the U.S.A. are ACS approved. Over 130 chemistry programs also offer degree options. About forty percent of the students graduating from these chemistry programs are ACS certified. Many departments seek ACS approval and advertise that they are approved to assure students that they have high-quality programs in chemistry. Some institutions use ACS approval of another institution as a basis for accepting transfer credits in chemistry. To search by state, click on this link .
