Chemistry Minor Requirements
These additional courses may be taken beyond the minimum requirements for a related major such as biology, agriculture and natural resources, applied math, or physics. This may also be appropriate for the 3/2 pre-engineering students who may want to work in a chemical related field. A chemistry minor may prove valuable for students wanting to pursue a career in industry where working with chemicals is a portion of the job but not the primary focus (where a chemistry major may be more appropriate).
