Minor in Chemistry

Course Requirements (20 cr.)

All courses are 3 credit hours, unless otherwise designated.

  • CHEM-C 105 Principles of Chemistry I
  • CHEM-C 106 Principles of Chemistry II
  • CHEM-C 125 Experimental Chemistry I (2 cr.)
  • CHEM-C 126 Experimental Chemistry II (2 cr.)

Minor in Biochemistry

Course Requirements (16 cr.)

All courses are 3 credit hours, unless otherwise designated.

  • BIOL-L 102 Introduction to Biological Sciences 2 (5 cr.)
  • BIOL-L 211 Molecular Biology
  • CHEM-C 484 Biomolecules and Catabolism
  • CHEM-C 485 Biosynthetic Pathways and Control of Metabolism
  • CHEM-C 486 Biological Chemistry Laboratory (2 cr.)

Any course counted toward the biochemistry minor may not also be counted toward the major if the course is within the same department as the major. Students may substitute appropriate science courses for the above if these courses are counted toward the major.

For chemistry majors, an appropriate course substitution for CHEM-C 484 Biomolecules and Catabolism would include:

  • BIOL-L 311 Genetics
  • BIOL-L 312 Cell Biology
  • BIOL-L 317 Developmental Biology
  • BIOL-L 323 Molecular Biology Laboratory

For biology majors, appropriate course substitutions for BIOL-L 102 Introduction to Biological Sciences 2 and BIOL-L 211 Molecular Biology would include:

  • CHEM-C 341 Organic Chemistry Lectures 1
  • CHEM-C 342 Organic Chemistry Lectures 2
  • CHEM-C 343 Organic Chemistry Laboratory 1 (2 cr.)
