Apply for a minor

Students must file a form with the chemistry department indicating that they have completed the requirements in order for the minor to be noted on their transcript.

“My mentors at IUPUI gave me a level of responsibility in the lab that provided an advantage when I was working in new areas at NYU.”

Ahmed Malik Chemistry, Undergraduate

"I see all fields of science as being fundamentally integrated and connected with one another. By getting a minor, I developed skills and new ways of thinking that have helped me ask the right questions in my research."
