Minoring in Chemistry
The process for minoring in chemistry is very simple. All students pursuing a Bachelor of Arts degree are welcome to minor in chemistry. The first step is meeting with your academic adviser within your major department to discuss the outline of courses you will take to fulfill the requirements of the chemistry minor.
Along with your academic adviser, visit the Changing Academic Program or Curriculum Year webpage.
If you complete a physical form, return the form to enrolled student services in Sikes Hall 104.
Note: Declaring a minor does not require the approval of the minor department. You can minor in chemistry just by filling out the above form with your major adviser. You do not need approval from the Department of Chemistry.
