Minor in Chemistry
A minor in Chemistry shall consist of General Chemistry I & II (CHEM 1101 & 1102) , Organic Chemistry I & II (CHEM 3201 & 3202) and two (2) additional Chemistry courses from the following:
Elements of Physical Chemistry (CHEM 3311), Advanced Organic Chemistry (CHEM 4201), Biochemistry (CHEM 4421, 4422) or Instrumental Analysis (CHEM 4451)
Pre-professional students should consider Advanced Organic Chemistry, Instrumental Analysis and Biochemistry as their options.
Total: 22-24 semester hours
Students must demonstrate proficiency in chemistry by appropriate scores on the American Chemical Society (ACS) Exams for one of the following year-long sequences: (1) General Chemistry, (2) Organic Chemistry and/or (3) Biochemistry. The passing score will be at or above the 40th percentile of the national norms for these exams or at an appropriate level, as determined by the Department of Chemistry, based on the accumulated data of the performance of LaGrange College students on these exams. The results that are in the best interest of the students will be used. These exams will be given at the end of the appropriate courses and will be offered to students up to three (3) additional times prior to the time of the student’s scheduled graduation.
