Chemistry Minor

Candidates for degrees in other departments who have accumulated 54 credits and attained a grade point average of at least 2.5 in the 100- and 200-level chemistry courses may request admission to the Chemistry or Biochemistry minors. This request must be approved by the department. A minimum GPA of 2.0 grade point average in all the listed courses will be required for completion of the minor.

A minor must be completed at the time of the degree and will be so noted on the student’s transcript. A student cannot be readmitted to the University to complete only a minor.
