Why Consider a Chemistry Minor?

A minor in chemistry provides additional depth and laboratory experience beyond the chemistry required for another major program, including direct access to modern laboratory equipment and instrumentation. Major fields that are especially complemented by a minor in chemistry include Environmental Studies, Environmental Science, Psychology, Behavioral Neuroscience, and some pre-health careers.
