Minor in Chemistry
27.5 quarter credits
The
academic minor program in chemistry is designed to expose students
to each of the major sub-disciplines of chemistry (analytical, inorganic,
organic, and physical). In order to accomplish this students take a
total of at least 27.5 credits of chemistry past the freshman year
(100 level courses).
As chemistry is an experimental science at least two laboratory courses must
be included in the group of courses taken for the minor. Students should note
that their academic major may require certain chemistry courses that can also
be used to fulfill the requirements for a minor in chemistry.
| Required courses | ||||
 |
||||
| CHEM 241 | Organic Chemistry I | 4.0 | ||
|
||||
| CHEM 230 | Quantitative Analysis | 3.0 | ||
|
||||
| CHEM 253 | Thermodynamics & Kinetics* | 4.0 | ||
|
||||
| CHEM 421 | Inorganic Chemistry I | 3.0 | ||
|
||||
| CHEM 244 | Organic Chemistry I Laboratory | 3.0 | ||
|
||||
| Chemistry electives** | 10.5 | |||
|

*Students may substitute CHEC352 Physical Chemistry II (4 credits) or CHEC353 Physical Chemistry III (4 credits) for the CHEM 253 requirement. **The 10.5 credits of chemistry electives must include at least one additional laboratory course. These electives are selected from any of the regularly offered chemistry department lecture or laboratory courses 200-level and above according to your specific interests. Note that existing course pre-requisites may affect which courses may be selected. The variable credit courses CHEM 493 Senior Research Project or CHEM 497 Undergraduate Research may also be used to fulfill either the lecture or laboratory requirements for the minor. |
