Program Information
The Department of Chemistry, Biochemistry and Physics offers the chemistry minor for students who desire significant training in the chemical sciences without pursuing a degree in the discipline. The minor is particularly suitable for students in other majors whose career trajectories will require a thorough understanding of chemistry. Such careers may include secondary science teaching, biomedical engineers, biologists, dairy scientists, soil scientists, forensic psychologists, physicists, and many others.
Course Delivery Format
Courses offered in the Chemistry minor curriculum are taught in a variety of formats to ensure competence in the chemical sciences. Didactic (lecture) methods ensure the development of foundational knowledge of chemistry. Practical (laboratory) methods ensure the development of laboratory skills and training.
