Why minor in chemistry?
From everyday objects to elements of the cosmos, our world is made up of infinitesimally
small molecules and atoms. With a minor in Chemistry from UND, you'll study these
universal building blocks, and gain a strong foundation in chemical principles. This
chemistry foundation is relevant in other fields of study including engineering, biology,
medical and physical sciences and in a broad range of careers such as teaching, industry,
and beyond.
You'll gain a strong foundation in chemical principles and prepare to make your mark
in research, teaching, industry and beyond.
