Minor in Chemistry

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			Credits
CHEM 241	Organic Chemistry I		4.0
CHEM 230	Quantitative Analysis		3.0
CHEM 252	Physical Chemistry I*		3.0
CHEM 421	Inorganic Chemistry I		3.0
CHEM 244	Organic Chemistry I Laboratory		3.0
	A second Chemistry laboratory course		3.0
* Students may substitute CHEC 352 Physical Chemistry II (4 credits) or CHEC 353 Physical Chemistry III (4 credits) for the CHEM 252 physical chemistry lecture requirement.

The remaining credits can be selected from any of the regularly offered chemistry department lecture or laboratory courses 200-level and above according to 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.
