The UO Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry offers a minor in chemistry. Chemistry minors complete an integrated, rigorous program that includes foundational work in general and organic chemistry. Undergraduates may also benefit from taking upper division courses in synthetic, physical, materials, computational chemistry, biochemistry, molecular biology, and modern instrumental techniques. A unique strength of the program is the opportunity for undergraduates to participate in the activities of a dynamic research group that considers problems extending well beyond textbook instruction.
