Effective Winter 2023
Exclusions:The Chemistry Academic Minor is not open to students concentrating in Biochemistry, Biomolecular Science, Interdisciplinary Chemical Sciences, Chemistry, Cell and Molecular Biology, Biology, General Biology, Neuroscience, Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Plant Biology, and Microbiology
Students electing a minor within the Department of Chemistry may only elect ONE of the five minors offered by the Department.
Advising
Students develop a plan for the major in consultation with a program advisor. Those interested in a B.S. degree with a major in Chemical Science (120 credits) or the specialized program leading to the Bachelor of Science in Chemistry (124 credits) are urged to consult a program advisor during the freshman and/or sophomore years. Prospective majors are advised that further study in chemistry requires adequate performance in early chemistry courses (preferably B- or better) as well as in the mathematics and physics prerequisites. Students interested in an Honors degree should see the Chemistry Honors advisor. Appointments are scheduled online at www.lsa.umich.edu/chem/undergraduate/advising. Students interested in the joint program with the College of Engineering should make an appointment [Academic Advising Center, 1255 Angell Hall, 734.764.0332] and then make an appointment to see a chemistry department advisor online.
Grade Policies
The department strongly recommends that a student earn a grade of at least C– in all CHEM courses and mathematics, physics, and biology courses that are prerequisite for subsequent elections. A major program grade point average of at least 2.0 is required; this includes chemistry courses, mathematics, physics, and biology prerequisites, and advanced electives that are part of a major plan. Prerequisites must be taken for a grade.
Prerequisites
- MATH 115 (or 120), or equivalent;
- PHYSICS 125,139, 140, 150, 160, or equivalent.
Requirements
- Core: CHEM 130* & CHEM 210/211.
- Electives: CHEM 215/216, CHEM 241/242, CHEM 260 (or CHEM 261 and CHE 330), CHEM 302 or 303, CHEM 419 or 420, CHEM 402, CHEM 461, CHEM 482.
*Students who do not place into CHEM 210 are strongly recommended to take CHEM 130.
Constraints
Neither CHEM 130, nor AP credits earned for CHEM 130, count toward the minor.

Prerequisites must be taken for a grade. Students must request any change in a chemistry course grade within the first fifteen University Business days of the first full term following the term in which the disputed grade was issued.
Prerequisites
- MATH 115 (or 120), or equivalent;
- PHYSICS 135, 140, or equivalent.
