Chemistry Minor

Students whose major interest is chemistry-related areas such as cell or molecular biology, physiology, physiological psychology, environmental studies, natural science, molecular physics or medical technology will find a significant chemistry background to be a useful adjunct to their major. The chemistry minor can provide this background with flexibility in catering to the specific interests of the student.
