Chemistry Minor

This minor is designed to provide students with a broad introduction to the discipline of Chemistry and an opportunity for advanced study in specific focus areas. The chemistry minor includes at least 120 total contact hours of laboratory experiences beyond General Chemistry and exposure to at least two different areas of advanced chemical study. 

All courses must be taken for a letter grade that carries grade points (i.e. a grade of P or Pass does not count). Lower-division courses must be satisfied with course work. Transfer courses will be approved by CHEM faculty and credit-by-exam options cannot apply.
