Program Description

We require that a student develop the minor courses with a chemistry advisor and with the approval of the student’s major advisor. Biochemistry majors are excluded from earning a minor in Chemistry. At least 6 hours of chemistry must be taken at KSU to satisfy the minor upper-division requirement.

At a minimum, the following courses must be taken as part of a student’s course of study for a student to earn a minor in Chemistry.
