A minor in chemistry requires the completion of 20 semester credit hours. Specific course requirements include CHE 101/110, 102/120, 301/310, and 302/320; the remaining 4 semester credit hours must be selected from CHE 303, 315/350, 407, and 412.

Knowledge of mathematical facts and procedures is indispensable to a satisfactory understanding of every field of science. This is true for both the physical and biological sciences, and even the humanities are influenced by the traditions of mathematical knowledge. Mathematical skills and processes are central to the development and practice of critical thought and expression. Physics is the science that seeks to employ mathematics to explain the universe and its phenomena. Courses in mathematics and physics at Kentucky State University are designed to integrate theoretical and practical topics.

The Division of Mathematics and Sciences offers a Mathematics degree with three options: Pure Mathematics, Applied Mathematics/Pre-Engineering, and Mathematics with Teaching Certification. Minors in Mathematics and Physics are also offered.

All students entering Kentucky State University who have not met the Liberal Studies Requirements for Mathematics (by a transfer course from another university or college) are placed in appropriate Mathematics courses on the basis of their composite Mathematics ACT or Mathematics Placement Exams scores.

The Applied Mathematics (Pre-Engineering) Option is a five-year course of study offered jointly by Kentucky State University and four other universities. The student in this program attends Kentucky State University for three years of study in the pre-engineering area of his/her choice, and then transfers to the second institution for two additional years of work. A student currently may choose the University of Kentucky, the University of Maryland at College Park, Vanderbilt University, or Florida A & M University. Upon successful completion of the first year at the second institution, the student is awarded the Bachelor of Arts degree in Mathematics by Kentucky State University. The student is awarded the Bachelor of Science degree in his/her selected field of engineering by the second institution after the final year of study.
