Minor in Chemistry

Chemistry

Explore the fundamental properties of matter, molecular structures, and the reactions that drive our chemical world.

Overview

The Chemistry Minor is designed for students seeking a robust foundation in chemical principles alongside their primary major. The curriculum bridges critical theoretical knowledge in physical, inorganic, and organic chemistry with hands-on laboratory experiences, culminating in a well-rounded understanding of the chemical sciences.
