Successful completion of the Chemistry Minor requires:

1. 5.0 units that include:
   • 1.5 CHEM units: CHEM 120 or CHEM 121, CHEM 120L or CHEM 121L, CHEM 123 or CHEM 125, and CHEM 123L or CHEM 125L
   • 3.0 CHEM lecture units, with a minimum of 1.0 unit from 300-level or higher
   • 0.5 CHEM lab unit, 200-level or higher
2. A minimum cumulative average of 60% for all lecture courses.
3. A minimum cumulative average of 60% for all lab courses.

Additional Program Requirements:

1. A maximum of two failures in CHEM courses is allowed.
2. The courses counted towards the 3.0 CHEM lecture units requirement must span a minimum of three theme areas. For 200-level or higher CHEM courses, the middle digit in the course number designates the theme area. "0" is general interest, "1" is inorganic/materials chemistry, "2" is analytical chemistry, "3" is biological chemistry/biochemistry, "4" is computational/theoretical chemistry, "5" is physical chemistry, "6" is organic chemistry, "7" is polymer chemistry, and "8" is medicinal chemistry.

Note

A Chemistry Minor will not be awarded together with a Biochemistry Minor.
