The Chemistry Minor provides an opportunity for students with major interests in other disciplines to complete a broad but flexible program in chemistry as well. The requirements for the minor are built on the same framework as those for the major, differing in two significant ways. First, there is not an explicit requirement for supporting work in mathematics and physics. At least one term of calculus and perhaps a term of physics are usually necessary, however, as prerequisites for specific chemistry courses. Second, the number of courses is smaller. To satisfy the minimum requirements for a chemistry minor, a student must complete:
NOTE: Of the courses in Clusters I, II, and III, at least three must have associated laboratories, and at least one must carry a course number greater than 340.
As with the major, there are numerous patterns a student might design for a minor. In particular, a chemistry minor consisting of Analytical Chemistry (210), Organic I and II(250,252), Biochemistry(340), and Chemical Dynamics(370) is an excellent option for a pre-medical student with a major elsewhere in the college.
