| 1 | BIO/CHEM 308, AEPS 329, CHEM 313 prerequisites are fulfilled by required courses in the minor. All other courses include additional prerequisites that do not count toward minor degree credit. |
| 2 | If CHEM 216 is used to fulfill a minor requirement MCRO 320 and MCRO 433 should not be used to fulfill this requirement to ensure that half minor units are upper division. |
