Any student, except those majoring in biochemistry,
may complete a formal minor in chemistry. The chemistry minor
thoroughly covers the basic chemical principles and offers opportunities
for advanced study that can be tailored to the student’s
particular interests. The minor consists of a minimum of 26 credits
and will include advanced course work in biochemistry, organic,
inorganic, physical or analytical chemistry. Students interested
in completing a minor in chemistry may get more complete information
from the department office (Chemistry Building, room 100). Outside
of the major and minor programs, the chemistry curriculum is designed
to meet the needs of students with diverse goals. Biological sciences
majors, as well as students preparing for entrance into schools
of dentistry, medicine, pharmacy, veterinary medicine or programs
in medical technology should complete CHEM 101, 102, 102L, 351,
351L, 352 and 352L. Students preparing for programs in dental
hygiene, nursing and physical therapy should complete CHEM 123,
124 and 124L.
The chemistry minor consists of a minimum of nine courses/ 26
credits as follows:
| CHEM 101 |
Principles of Chemistry I |
| CHEM 102 |
Principles of Chemistry II |
| CHEM 102L |
