Minor Requirements
Minors typically consist of 5 courses (20 credits). Please consult with the department chair to discuss course selection. Chemistry minors can be designed to meet the special interests of a variety of students.
Students in majors constructed from the offerings of two departments (biochemistry) do not obtain a minor in either department. No more than one course in the minor should be taken pass/fail. For a transferred course to count as equivalent to a Simmons course with a laboratory component - for the purposes of meeting the requirements of a Chemistry minor - the transferred laboratory cannot be completed online.
