Chemistry Minor

The Chemistry minor provides an appropriate supporting background particularly suited for students typically pursuing a major in another area of science, technology, engineering, or math. This plan furnishes some knowledge about various fields of chemistry (inorganic, organic, etc.) and provides the essential analytical tools for other areas of study.

Minor Requirements

(Total: 20 total sch and ≥9 UL sch)

The total semester credit hour requirement for a minor in Chemistry is 20 with at least 9 sch at the upper level.
