Required Courses (10 credits)

  • CHEE 310 Physical Chemistry for Engineers (3 credits) · Offered: Winter
  • CHEM 212 Introductory Organic Chemistry 1 (4 credits) · Offered: Summer, Fall
  • CHEM 233 Topics in Physical Chemistry (3 credits) · Offered: Winter
  • CHEM 234 Topics in Organic Chemistry (3 credits) · Offered: Summer, Winter

Complementary Courses (15 credits)

15 credits from the following lists, two courses of which must be laboratory courses Note that CHEM 212 Introductory Organic Chemistry 1. is a prerequisite for most of the courses listed below, and CHEM 213 Introductory Physical Chemistry 1: Thermodynamics. and CHEM 273 Introductory Physical Chemistry 2: Kinetics and Methods. or their equivalents are prerequisites for the Physical Chemistry courses. If students take CHEM 222 Introductory Organic Chemistry 2. , which includes a lab, instead of CHEM 234 Topics in Organic Chemistry. , they will receive credit for one of the two required laboratory courses, but they must complete a total of 25 credits in chemistry for the Minor.
