Why Minor in Chemistry?

Learn more about basic chemical principles or take a deeper dive into your particular interests in biochemistry, organic, inorganic, physical, or analytical chemistry while pursuing a major in another field. This minor would pair well with a major in the biological sciences, especially if you are interested in any of the medical fields or medical technology.
