Chemistry (Minor)

Minor Requirements:

Minors typically consist of 5 courses (20 credits).  Please consult with the department chair to discuss course selection. Chemistry minors can be designed to meet the special interests of a variety of students.

 

Required Courses

CHEM 111	Principles of General Chemistry	4
	OR
CHEM 113	General & Quantitative Chemistry I	4
	AND
CHEM 112	Principles of Organic Chemistry	4

Complete three additional CHEM courses at or above 200-level. At least one of these courses must be at the 300-level.

Minors can be designed to meet the special interests of a variety of students.

An environmental interest would be met by the Sequence

	OR
CHEM 115	Intensive General Chemistry	4
CHEM 112	Principles of Organic Chemistry	4
CHEM 227	Energy & Global Warming	4
CHEM 341	Advanced Analytical Chemistry	4

Math majors could elect

CHEM 111	Principles of General Chemistry	4
	OR
CHEM 113	General & Quantitative Chemistry I	4
	OR
CHEM 115	Intensive General Chemistry	4
CHEM 112	Principles of Organic Chemistry	4
CHEM 332/PHYS 332	Quantum Mechanics and Molecular Structure	4
CHEM 343	Advanced Topics in Modern Chemistry	4

Biologists could easily obtain a chemistry minor by electing

CHEM 111	Principles of General Chemistry	4
	OR
CHEM 113	General & Quantitative Chemistry I	4
	OR
CHEM 115	Intensive General Chemistry	4
CHEM 216	General & Quantitative Chemistry II	4
