Chemistry Minor

 Return to: Programs of Study

Program Description

A minor in chemistry is available to students who wish to enhance their degrees with a strong concentration in this area. The minor is a particularly valuable complement to required courses in biology, environmental sciences, engineering, or physics. A minor is an excellent credential in the eyes of future employers and enhances the records of students interested in medical or other professional schools.
