College of Letters and Science Chemistry Minor

Minor

The UW-Stevens Point chemistry minor is designed to give students a solid background in chemistry to supplement a major in other areas. The objective of a minor in chemistry is to provide you with knowledge of introductory and intermediate chemical principles and to have you acquire sufficient technical skills to perform capably in a modern chemical laboratory. The minor consists of 26 credits (21 credits if taking Chem 117). You may take one of the following course sequences:

  • Chem 105 and 106 or Chem 117, 248, 325, 326, and a minimum of 4 credits selected from Chem 329, 335, 365, 371, 373, 387, 395 or the combination of Water/Geology 487 and Water 492.
  • Chem 105 and 106 or Chem 117, 220, 248, 260, and the combination of Water/Geology 487 and Water 492.

It is highly recommended that students select the courses required to fulfill the minor in consultation with the faculty of the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry in order to best complement the student’s major and career goals. Please see the UW-Stevens Point Course Catalog for more information.
