Minor in Chemistry
A chemistry minor offers students a way to complement and enhance their major, while receiving valuable training in general and organic chemistry. Students take 25 credit hours of coursework with a foundation in general and organic chemistry. The chemistry minor allows students to select 8 credit-hours of electives to tailor the coursework to their interests. Completing a minor makes an undergraduate degree more appealing to potential employers and further prepares students for graduate school.
