Notes:

No course required for the Biochemistry Minor will count towards the Biochemistry Minor if taken Pass/Fail.

For students completing both the Chemistry Minor and the Biochemistry Minor, CHEM 431/L, 432, and/or 487 may each only be counted toward one of the minors.

For the Biochemistry Minor the following must be completed at Indiana State University: 3-4 CHEM credits from lecture and/or laboratory courses at the 3- or 400 level (with the exception of 330, 351, 352, 330L, 351L, and 352L).

The Biochemistry Minor is not available to students who have declared the Chemistry Major.
