The minor in chemistry is a great option for students majoring in other fields who want to develop a foundational understanding of chemical principles and enhance their academic and professional versatility. This program typically includes coursework in general and organic chemistry, along with opportunities to explore specialized areas such as analytical chemistry. By gaining hands-on experience in laboratories and learning about the behavior of matter at the molecular level, students develop valuable problem-solving, analytical, and critical-thinking skills. A chemistry minor is particularly beneficial for students pursuing careers in fields like biology, environmental science, engineering, health professions, or even business and law, where a solid background in chemistry can provide a competitive edge. Whether you're interested in applying chemistry to interdisciplinary challenges or simply expanding your scientific knowledge, a chemistry minor offers a flexible and practical way to complement your major and broaden your career prospects.
