Chemistry Minor
A minor in chemistry from our department offers a solid foundation of chemistry concepts in organic chemistry, quantitative analysis and laboratory experience. The minor in chemistry may complement many primary areas of study, such as life and physical sciences, mathematics, statistics, engineering, computer programming, education, pre-health and more. Students gain oral and written communication skills and an understanding of chemical processes and will be better prepared for careers and future studies in scientific fields and academic research.
