Biochemistry / Bachelor of Science

Total Credit Hours: 128

Major Credit Hours: 82

A grade “C-” or better must be earned in a prerequisite course in order to advance to the next course in the sequence.

A required course for the major may be taken only twice at Lewis University.  If a student has not achieved a minimum of "C-" after the second attempt, the student may not repeat the class at Lewis.

Biochemistry majors may not double major in or minor in Chemistry or Chemical Physics.
