The minor in Chemistry is designed to:
- acquaint the student with three different sub-disciplines of chemistry and
- teach students to think critically and apply problem solving skills in Chemistry.

* This information is provided for ease of use, however it is not the official record. See the academic catalog for official course descriptions and requirements.
**It is necessary that CHEM 120 and CHEM 121 be scheduled for the first year of residence at VUSC in order to maintain a proper sequence of chemistry courses.
If students are not prepared to take CHEM 120/L their freshman year, then they should enroll in CHEM 112C/L (see Incoming Freshman Preparation Guide for more details).
