Chemistry, Minor

The requirements for a minor must be completed concurrently with the major degree requirements.

No minor may be added by completing courses after receiving the bachelor’s degree.

At least six (6) credit hours must be earned in courses acceptable for residence credit by standards set forth by the College of Arts and Sciences, excluding transfer, correspondence, and examination (AP, CLEP, Advanced Standing) credit. Courses for the minor may not be taken Pass/ No Pass.

No single course may be used by a student to satisfy a major requirement and a minor requirement. A course may be used, however, to satisfy both a major support requirement and a minor requirement. 

Requests to substitute a minor requirement must be approved in writing by the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry.

Required Courses

Students must successfully complete at least 15 hours of upper-division course work acceptable for major credit in Chemistry. No more than three (3) hours may be completed through Independent Study (CHEM 3990 or CHEM 4990). CHEM 4232, does not apply toward the Chemistry major or minor.
