Students seeking a minor in chemistry must complete the Declaration of Minor in Chemistry form and have it approved by the undergraduate advisor in chemistry and their academic advisor. A minor in Chemistry should represent course work taken in the discipline beyond courses that might be used to satisfy core curriculum science requirements (8 credits).  Therefore, though CHEM 119 or CHEM 107/CHEM 117 and CHEM 120  are prerequisites to all of the listed courses, they are not considered part of the minor program.  The course work listed represents various sub-disciplines within the field of Chemistry and would give the student an overall knowledge base fitting a Minor in Chemistry. This is consistent with the statement on minors published by the American Chemical Society.

The student will choose five lecture courses (14-15 credits) and three laboratory courses (3-5 credits) from categories A. through E. below. The student must take at least one course from four of the five categories. Students must have a C average in all courses taken for a minor in Chemistry. CHEM 491 and CHEM 485 credits will not be allowed to count for the minor nor used in the Chemistry GPA calculation. Substitution of courses without the CHEM prefix will not be allowed.
