Effective Winter 2023
Exclusions:The Polymer Chemistry Academic Minor is not open to students concentrating in Biochemistry, Biomolecular Science, Interdisciplinary Chemical Sciences, or Chemistry.
Students electing a minor within the Department of Chemistry may only elect ONE of the five minors offered by the Department.
Advising
Students wishing to pursue a minor offered by the Chemistry Department must develop a specific plan for its completion in consultation with the Department's designated advisor. Chemistry, Chemical Physics, Polymer Chemistry, and Chemical Measurement Science minors are arranged in consultation with any Chemistry department advisor, while Biochemistry minors are arranged in consultation with any Biochemistry advisor. Information about scheduling advising appointments is available from the Department's website.
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. 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 125, 139, 140, 150, 160, or equivalent.
Requirements
At least 18 credits of courses as follows: CHEM 210/211, CHEM 215, CHEM 260 or 370, CHEM 302 or 303, CHEM 436, CHEM 538.
Teaching Certificate
Those seeking a B.S. or B.S. Chem. degree with a teaching certificate in Chemistry must fulfill departmental as well as School of Education requirements. Students who plan to earn a teaching certificate with a teaching major or minor in Chemistry should contact the School of Education Teacher Education Office.
