John Jay College Of Criminal Justice | The City University of New York

Students who minor in Chemistry will learn fundamental introductory principles in general, organic and analytical chemistry. Individual course descriptions are provided under the course listings. The Chemistry minor has been established to allow students to pursue a concentration of 21 credits.

The Chemistry minor is significant for students who wish to pursue the pre-health professions and major in another area. It is an important minor for students considering careers in which a full science major is not required, but college-level science experience is required.
