Chemistry (Minor)

The minor in chemistry is a useful addition for students majoring in biology, health sciences, and social sciences, as well as students who are planning to seek secondary education teaching licensure. Through this minor, students will be able to develop a comprehensive knowledge base in chemistry as well as develop laboratory skills.

Minimum Grade Requirement: A minimum grade of C- must be earned in all courses applied to the minor. Biochemistry majors are excluded from earning a minor in chemistry.

Residency Requirement: At least two three-credit courses must be taken at Marymount University to satisfy the minor requirements.
