The Chemistry Minor is a great option to consider for students who have an interest in chemistry but have chosen not to pursue a full major (Chemistry B.A, Chemistry B.S., or Biochemistry B.S.).
For students who find it challenging to accommodate their major coursework with a double major in this department, they should consider the minor as a merger of all their interests. The Minor includes 23 units and typically takes 1-2 years to complete.
Declaring The Minor
If you would like to declare the minor, or have any questions, please email ugrads@chem.ucsb.edu to schedule your appointment. During the appointment, an advisor will discuss with you the minor requirements, course scheduling, and your anticipated timeline to completion.
