CHEM Minor
The Minor in Chemistry requires 18h (6 courses) of Chemistry courses with a minimum 12h (4 courses) at the 2000-, 3000-, or 4000-level. The remaining 6h (2 courses) would normally be General Chemistry (CHEM 1013 and CHEM 1023), since CHEM 1023 is a pre-requisite for all 2000-level CHEM courses.
Note: Credit for CHEM 1053 (Chemistry and Our World) cannot be used towards a minor in CHEM if you already have completed CHEM 1013 and CHEM 1023, since you allowed a maximum of two courses at the 1000-level.
Although you are able to select any CHEM courses for your minor that interest you, here are some recommended courses for a CHEM minor for selected programs:
