Turn Science into Impact with a Chemistry Minor
Chemistry plays a vital role in healthcare, innovation, environmental stewardship, and education. Cornerstone University offers two pathways — a general Chemistry Minor and a Chemistry for Secondary Teachers Minor — so students can align chemical study with broader professional goals or preparation for teaching. The general chemistry minor enhances the B.S. in Biology for students interested in medical, dental, pharmacy, veterinary or research careers. Grounded in a Christian worldview of God’s order and design, the minor equips students to apply chemistry to real-world challenges that improve health, advance technology, protect the environment, and educate future scientists.
For more opportunities to advance your career impact, explore our B.S. in Biology, B.A. in Biology, B.S. in Environmental Biology, B.S. in Elementary Education, or B.S. in Secondary Education. Cornerstone offers focused concentrations through the B.S. in Biology major, including: pre-medical, pre-dental and pre-veterinary.
