Chemistry, Minor

Chemistry, often described as the central science, is critical to the intersection of the physical sciences with life sciences and health sciences. Chemists describe the macroscopic world through molecular structure and interaction. A chemistry minor presents an opportunity to explore the fundamental properties of atoms and molecules through the laws of physics that govern particles, and how these building blocks can affect cellular mechanisms that can result in improved health outcomes. A chemistry minor is a perfect fit for students who wish to pursue a pre-health profession curricula or for students considering careers where a complete chemistry major is not required but significant college chemistry coursework is beneficial.

The chemistry minor may not be awarded with a pharmaceutical chemistry degree.
