Minor in Chemistry

The American Chemical Society (ACS) requires that a minor in chemistry consist of a minimum of 20 credit hours and 200 laboratory contact hours in two different areas of chemistry beyond the first year general chemistry. A minor in chemistry at NSU will consist of a required minor “core” and then a choice of the following advances courses listed below (all course work listed below must be passed with a grade of “C” or higher).
