Minor Requirements

Preparatory Subject Matter:
36-39 Units

Chemistry: 2A-2B-2C or 2AH-2BH-2CH
Mathematics: 21A-21B-21C or 16A-16B-16C
Physics: 7A-7B-7C

Depth Subject Matter:
20-21 Units

Chemistry: 105, 107A, 107B, 118A, 124A, and at least one additional course from 118B, 124B, and 124C.

At most, one course used in satisfaction of a student's major may be applied to the upper division requirements of a minor.

The minor requires one course from Chemistry 118B, 124B and 124C, which are shown in italics.

The sample schedule shows required courses taken as early in the program as possible. This permits the greatest flexibility in choosing optional chemistry electives and allows interested students to elect a full year of undergraduate research, Chemistry 199, in their senior year.

There are offset sequences of Chemistry 2ABC, Mathematics 16ABC and 21ABC, and Physics 7ABC that start in different quarters than shown above. For the upper division courses, the alternate sequence of Chemistry 118ABC starts in Winter. Chemistry 107AB and 124ABC are not offered in alternate quarters. Chemistry 105 is also offered in Fall, but it has 107AB as a prerequisite.

Students who wish to earn a Chemistry minor should consult with a Chemistry major adviser.

A Petition to Declare a Minor should be filed in the College of your major when you file your application for graduation.
