Cert in Chemistry

The chemistry minor complements studies in the sciences, since chemistry links physics, biology, engineering and medicine. It suits students who want a stronger foundation in the central science. It draws on the Chemistry Department, whose program carries American Chemical Society approval. Its organic-first approach introduces advanced instruments such as spectroscopy and mass spectrometry early. Students can join independent research in faculty labs or pursue internships with industry employers. Small advanced classes give focused attention. The minor is offered in person. Details on requirements, class schedules and costs are published on the program's own web page, where prospective students can also ask the university for more information. The program is part of the University of Wisconsin-Parkside, a campus of the University of Wisconsin System.
