Minor in Chemistry

The Minor in Chemistry is flexible and allows a student to design a minor with the balance between depth and breadth that is appropriate for the student’s specific educational and professional objectives. Of the two units of required study, one unit must be at an advanced level (3000/4000), including a 4000 level capstone course. WPI policy for double counting courses to satisfy the requirements for a minor can be found in the Undergraduate Catalog.

Requirements (Note 1)Units

1000 level CH course

1/3

2000 level CH courses (Note 2)

2/3

3000/4000 level CH courses

2/3

4000 level CH courses (capstone)

1/3

Notes

  1. A higher level CH course can be used to satisfy the requirement for a lower level course e.g. 2000 for 1000, 3000 /4000 for 2000 etc.
  2. Selected from CH2310, CH2320, and CH2330.
