Chemistry Minor

Department of Natural Sciences

Students may wish to minor in chemistry in order to pursue general intellectual interests or specific career objectives. For example, students can complete the chemistry courses required for admission to medical school by doing a minor in chemistry. The chemistry minor will consist of two chemistry courses at the 3000-level or above, followed by a capstone course at the 4000-level. The capstone course must be taken at Baruch College. All chemistry courses at the 4000-level or above (including independent study and honors) offered by the Department of Natural Sciences may serve as the capstone. Interested students should contact the department.

Examples of possible course sequences in the chemistry minor:

Biochemistry

CHM 3001 General Chemistry II

CHM 3003 Principles of Organic Chemistry I

CHM 4900 Biochemistry (co-requisite of CHM 3006—Principles of Organic Chemistry II)

Medicinal Chemistry

CHM 3001 General Chemistry II

CHM 3003 Principles of Organic Chemistry I

CHM 4010 Medicinal Chemistry (co-requisite of CHM 3006—Principles of Organic Chemistry II)

Students are expected to complete the minor requirements in place at the time they are officially accepted into their programs. Please review the College Bulletin for the relevant academic year.
