To earn a minor in chemistry, students must complete a minimum of twenty-one (21) credit hours in chemistry with a minimum grade of C- in each course. Students must take all the necessary prerequisites before enrolling in courses required for the minor. CHEM-C 128 Problem Solving Skills in Chemistry (3 cr.) is required for students who have an ALEKS placement test of 60 or below prior to taking CHEM-C 105.

The following courses are required: 

• CHEM-C 105 Principles of Chemistry I (3 cr.)
• CHEM-C 125 Experimental Chemistry I (2 cr.)
• CHEM-C 106 Principles of Chemistry II (3 cr.)
• CHEM-C 126 Experimental Chemistry II (2 cr.)
• CHEM-C 310 Analytical Chemistry (3 cr.)
• CHEM-C 341 Organic Chemistry I (3 cr.)

Students must also take one of the following laboratory courses: 

• CHEM-C 311 Analytical Chemistry Laboratory (2 cr.) or CHEM-C 343 Organic Chemistry I: Laboratory (2 cr.).

Finally, students can select one (or more) course(s) from the following list to complete the 21-credit hour minimum requirement:

• CHEM-C 300 Energy and Green Chemistry: A Natural Science Perspective (4 cr.)
• CHEM-C 329 Biochemistry I: Proteins and Enzymes (5 cr.)
