Minor in Chemistry

Requirements

A minor consists of at least 15 credits, including at least 6 credits numbered 2000 or above, 9 of the required credits must be taken in MU course work. This requirement can be reduced from 9 to 6 at the discretion of an individual department. Students must meet the minimum GPA requirements for a minor, which in no case can be lower than 2.0. In addition, a student cannot receive a grade lower than a C- in any course applied towards a minor in the College. For more information, please see Requirements for Optional Minor.

Students may not earn a major and a minor in the same field concurrently. However, students may return to complete a subsequent degree in a field for which they have earned a minor as part of an earlier undergraduate degree. Minor coursework cannot also be used as Second Language Alternative.
