Minor(s)

A minor in Chemistry is a great way to be able to demonstrate on your transcript, training and proficiency in a more focused area of chemistry, without the comprehensive requirements of a Chemistry Major. This can be important for employment opportunities and admission into a wide array of graduate programs. The Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology offera a variety of Chemistry Minor degrees to help you achieve your career goals.

Requirements

A certain core of courses is required for the minor in chemistry. The core includes general and organic chemistry. Additional laboratory work and upper level courses in either inorganic (Option 1) or physical (Option 2) chemistry are required for completion of the minor.

Inorganic Option

01:160:311 Organic Chemistry Laboratory (2)
or 01:160:309 Organic Chemistry Laboratory (2.5)

01:160:361 Chemical Bonding (1.5)

01:160:371 Inorganic Chemistry (3)
Chem. 371 has Chem. 361 as a pre-requisite. Both courses are offered Fall and Spring.

Physical Option

01:160:311 Organic Chemistry Laboratory (2)
or 01:160:309 Organic Chemistry Laboratory (2.5)
or 01:160:251 Analytical Chemistry (3)

01:160:323-324 Physical Chemistry (3,3)
or 01:160:327-328 Physical Chemistry(4,4)
or 01:160:341-342 Physical Chemistry: Biochemical Systems(3,3)
