Minor in Chemistry
Students in pre-professional programs, including pre-medical, pre-dental and pre-veterinary programs, as well as those planning to attend graduate programs in biology, environmental science or pharmacy, would benefit from the Chemistry minor.
Both the physical science and biology sections of the MCAT have numerous questions from general chemistry, organic chemistry and biochemistry. The DAT and GRE also have many questions relating to chemistry. Most biology programs emphasize molecular biology – the chemical /molecular basis of biology – that has led to success in the human genome project and the biotechnology industry, including genetically modified foods.
