Chemistry Major with a Minor in Biology
A second way of achieving a B.S. degree in chemistry includes a simultaneous minor in biology. In addition to providing the student with the background required for a meaningful career in chemistry, this program is also designed to prepare the student for further studies in biochemistry, medicine, dentistry (including all requirements for admission to such programs), as well as graduate studies in these and related fields. This curriculum would permit an easy transition to a major in biochemistry or biology should the student find these subjects of greater interest. A number of free electives are permitted, making this a very flexible program. A suggested form for the program follows.
(premedical, dental, veterinary, biochemistry, graduate)

Chemistry Minor
The requirements for the chemistry minor are at least 15 credit hours of chemistry. These must include at least three lecture courses with their associated laboratories. At least three credit hours must be at the 300- or 400- level. None of the courses may be taken as pass/fail.
Chemistry with a Concentration in Pre-Engineering
he chemistry B.S. can be taken with a pre-engineering concentration to serve as the foundation for the Bachelor’s in Chemistry and Master’s in Chemical Engineering degree program at Syracuse University.
