Department of Physical Sciences - Minors Available
Chemistry
The minor in chemistry is designed for science majors who would like to further their studies in chemistry and for students who cannot complete a major in chemistry, but for employment opportunities, would like to gain basic knowledge and competencies in chemistry. The minor in chemistry requires the core chemistry courses:
Geology
The minor in geology is primarily designed for students who are majoring in disciplines where a broader background in geology can aid in recognizing and addressing geological hazards, natural disasters, environmental issues, natural resource management, conservation, and land use planning. The minor in geology requires 20 hours of courses:
