A minor is offered in biochemistry. Declaration of a biochemistry minor is open to any student enrolled at CU Boulder, regardless of college or school.
Requirements
The College of Arts and Sciences will allow a maximum of 9 hours of transfer credit, including 6 upper-division credit hours to count toward a minor. Students may transfer courses through organic chemistry only. All courses required for the minor must be completed with a grade of C- or better, and the overall GPA in all BCHM and CHEM courses taken must be a 2.00.
Students who have taken CHEN 1211 and CHEM 1221 may substitute them for CHEM 1113 . Engineering students who have taken CHEN 4521 may not use this to satisfy the physical chemistry requirement.
