The Minor in Chemistry provides a means for students majoring in another discipline to develop a foundation of knowledge in selected areas of chemistry. Students with a major in science or non-science disciplines are welcome to pursue a Minor in Chemistry. A Minor in Chemistry consists of 23 credit hours of chemistry courses.
