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 180 total contact hours of laboratory experiences in at least two different areas of chemistry beyond General Chemistry. 

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.
