Why Minor in Chemistry?

A minor in chemistry allows students outside the department to obtain a strong, distributed background in the discipline. It is particularly useful for students anticipating careers in:

  • Biological sciences
  • Medicine
  • Health professions
  • Environmental sciences
  • Chemical engineering
  • Business
  • Law
  • Secondary education
  • Any career in which a basic understanding of the molecular sciences is helpful

Chemistry Minor

A minor in chemistry requires a minimum of 20 credit hours of approved chemistry courses.

All courses counted toward a minor must be taken from classes approved for chemistry majors and must include courses from at least two different areas of chemistry. Transfer students seeking a minor must take courses within the UNO Department of Chemistry above the 1000-level in at least two areas.

Healthcare Professions & Chemistry

Throughout our lives, chemistry plays a key role in keeping us healthy. Today we’re living healthier and longer lives—more than 30 years longer over the past century—thanks in large part to innovations made possible by the business of chemistry.
