Chemistry Minor Learning Outcomes
Students who successfully complete a minor in chemistry are expected to be able to:
- Demonstrate a broad knowledge of the many of the fundamental concepts of stoichiometry, atomic theory, structure and reactivity of elements and compounds, physical properties of matter, kinetics, equilibrium, and thermodynamics;
- Conduct safe and appropriate experiments to answer chemical questions, interpret the results of these experiments, and effectively communicate these results in both oral and written forms;
- Critically analyze chemical data, hypotheses, results, theories, and explanations by applying both chemical knowledge and intuition.
