Chemistry Minor

Chemistry is the study of matter – its composition, structure, properties, and changes in state. Our faculty are dedicated to ensuring your education is one of discovery, and our program gives you an understanding of the chemical world in which we live. A Chemistry minor can help you master other scientific disciplines and support your studies in biology, physics, geology, engineering, medicine, and other pre-professional health fields. You’ll develop a broad understanding of chemical sciences and experimental techniques, enhancing your ability to solve problems and think creatively. A minor in Chemistry will help you build analytical skills that are useful in many professional fields.
