| 1 | For additional 300/400 level chemistry courses, a premed, medical technology or biology student might take CHEM:401 Biochemistry Lecture I, CHEM:402 Biochemistry Lecture II (three credits each). An engineering or physics major might select CHEM:313 Physical Chemistry Lecture I, CHEM:314 Physical Chemistry Lecture II (three credits each). Analytical or instrumental courses might be attractive to students in other fields. Students who intend to minor in chemistry should seek advice from the Chemistry Department about the 300/400 level courses that would be most relevant to their interests. |
Note: Chemical engineering majors automatically fulfill the requirements for a minor in chemistry.
