Chemistry Minor

Chemistry impacts many professions. A minor in chemistry provides an opportunity for students to investigate more fully the relationships between chemistry and disciplines such as biology, criminal justice, environmental science, and psychology. Courses include general and analytical chemistry, as well as biochemistry and organic chemistry.

Degree Requirements

The Chemistry Minor Requirement is 20 credit hours as follows:

CHEM 105	General Chemistry I	4 cr.
CHEM 106	General Chemistry II	4 cr.
Total Credit Hours:		8

Plus any one of the following lecture and lab combinations:

CHEM 211	Analytical Methods	3 cr.
CHEM 221	Analytical Methods Laboratory	1 cr.
	or
CHEM 314	Biochemistry	3 cr.
CHEM 324	Biochemistry Laboratory	1 cr.
Total Credit Hours:		4

Plus either set of the two-lecture/two-laboratory course sequences listed below:

CHEM 209	Organic Chemistry I	3 cr.
CHEM 219	Organic Chemistry Laboratory I	1 cr.
CHEM 210	Organic Chemistry II	3 cr.
CHEM 220	Organic Chemistry Laboratory II	1 cr.
	or
CHEM 317	Physical Chemistry I	3 cr.
CHEM 327	Physical Chemistry Laboratory I	1 cr.
CHEM 318	Physical Chemistry II	3 cr.
CHEM 328	Physical Chemistry Laboratory II	1 cr.
Total Credit Hours:		8

This minor is not open to forensic chemistry majors.

The chemistry minor is open only to students who have completed one semester of college-level physics (PHYS 101, PHYS 103, PHYS 123, PHYS 132, or PHYS 133) and one of the following mathematics courses: MATH 109, MATH 123, MATH 127 or MATH 133.

Note: CHEM 314/CHEM 324 requires the organic chemistry sequence as prerequisites. The physical chemistry two-lecture/two- laboratory course sequence requires CHEM 211/CHEM 221 as a prerequisite.

Note: The number of available seats in upper-level chemistry courses is very limited, and we recommend advanced planning and advising.
