1) Undergraduate Minor in Chemistry and Biochemistry (New--Starting January 2019)

A minor in chemistry and biochemistry is available to all non-biochemistry and non-chemistry majors. The chemistry and biochemistry minor must comprise at least 15 credit hours of which at least 9 credit hours of upper-division coursework (numbered 3000 or above). No more than 3 credit hours of Special Topics courses may be included.

Students must take CHEM 2311, CHEM 2312 or CHEM 2313, and CHEM 3511 or CHEM 4511 to earn a minor.  The remaining hours of classes must be selected from the following list.  

CHEM 3111 Advanced Inorganic Chemistry CHEM 3411 Physical Chemistry I CHEM 3412  Physical Chemistry II CHEM 3481 Physical Chemistry Lab ​CHEM 3700 Alternative Energy CHEM 4113 Inorganic Energy Conversion ​CHEM 4311 Advanced Organic Chemistry CHEM 4341 Applied Spectroscopy CHEM 4452 Chemistry of the Solid State CHEM 4511 Biochemistry I CHEM 4512  Biochemistry II CHEM 4521 Biophysical Chemistry CHEM 4740 Atmospheric Chemistry CHEM 4760 Biocatalysis ​CHEM 4765 Drug Design, Development, and Delivery CHEM 4775 Polymer Science and Engineering I CHEM 4776 Polymer Science and Engineering II CHEM 4803 Special Topics  (with approval of the director of undergraduate studies)

2) Undergraduate Minor in Health and Medical Sciences (multidisciplinary)

The minor includes requirements for courses that cut across disciplines.  These courses are intended to add breadth of knowledge in areas outside the student’s major but important to health programs and careers in medical research. This multidisciplinary Health and Medical Sciences minor focusses on the science surrounding health and medicine.  This is a multidisciplinary minor associated with all Schools in the College of Sciences.  It is not linked with any existing major program. Students from any Georgia Tech major may participate in the Health & Medical Sciences Minor. 

To complete the 15 credit Health & Medical Sciences Minor, students will be required take a minimum of 9 credits of classes from at least two schools other than their home school (i.e., classes with School designators--APPH, BIOL, CHEM, PHYS, PSYC-- other than their major School designator) and a maximum of 6 credits from their home unit.  All classes used to fulfill the Health & Medical Sciences Minor must be chosen from the approved list of health-related courses (see GT catalog).

3) Undergraduate Minor in Energy Systems (multidisciplinary)

The minor includes requirements for courses which cut across disciplines.  These courses are intended to add breadth of knowledge in areas outside the student’s major but important to energy systems.  A terminal “capstone” or project course provides an opportunity for students from multiple disciplines to work together in multidisciplinary teams on a significant project in the energy area.

The breadth courses and the capstone project course, courses taken by all students completing the minor, require one or more pre-requisites; specifically, basic economics, mathematics, and lab science courses.  List of required prerequisites and curriculum requirements and options for this minor are on the following pages. The minor must consist of at least 15 hours and all courses in the minor also must be 3000 level and above.
