Department of Chemistry Minors

There are many opportunities for scientists with a minor in chemistry that includes employment in Quality Assurance in biotechnology industries, environmental labs, governmental health department labs, hospitals, and pharmaceutical companies. Course descriptions are available in the Undergraduate Catalog

Minor in Chemistry: 19鈥�21 s.h.

  1. Core Courses: CHEM 201, 202, and 330 or 331: 13 s.h.
  2. Any two courses from:
    CHEM 332, 341, 342, 370/374, 375, 421, 425, 433 6鈥�8 s.h.

Minor in Forensic Chemistry: 20鈥�21 s.h.

  1. Core Courses: CHEM 201, 202, 330, 440: 17 s.h.
  2. Select one of the following: 3鈥�4 s.h.
    1. CHEM 485鈥攊nternship at a state laboratory with placement approval by minor advisor.
    2. One course selected from: ANTH 405; BIOL 330; CHEM 342, 351, 421; MICR 200, 434; ZOOL 430

Note: This minor is not open to students majoring in Chemistry.

Differences Between Forensic Chemistry and Forensic Science:
  • The required courses for the forensic science minor are of a lower level and do not provide a sound background to pursue a graduate degree in the field. The additional knowledge gained through Chemistry 201, 202, and 330 is necessary for pursuing graduate studies.
  • Although employment opportunities depend on several factors, a forensic chemistry background will be more helpful.

Minor in Forensic Science: 19鈥�20 s.h.

  1. Core Courses: CHEM 101, 102, 221, 440: 16 s.h.
  2. Select one of the following options: 3鈥�4 s.h.
    1. CHEM 485鈥攊nternship at a state laboratory with placement approval by minor advisor.
    2. One course selected from: ANTH 405, BIOL 330, CHEM 342, MICR 200, MICR 434, ZOOL 430

Note: This minor is not open to students majoring in Chemistry.
