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. |

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.
