Chemical Physics / Bachelor of Science
Total Credit Hours: 128
Major Credit Hours in Physics Concentration: 78
Major Credit Hours in Chemistry Concentration: 78
Chemical Physics is an interdisciplinary major that explores the increasingly important interface of chemistry and physics. Students in this major are provided a grounding in the fundamental principles and laboratory skills of chemistry and physics. At Lewis, students have the option to complete a Chemical Physics degree with either a Chemistry emphasis or a Physics emphasis depending on their interests and career goals. Students also have the opportunity to engage in undergraduate research with Physics and/or Chemistry faculty working in the Chemical Physics arena.
Degree Requirements
Program: BS-CHPH-A
Concentration: PHYS or
Concentration: CHEM
All Chemical Physics students will take the core courses listed (58 credit hours) and then branch out into either an emphasis in Physics OR an emphasis in Chemistry.
A grade of "C-" or better must be earned in a prerequisite course in order to advance to the next course in the sequence. All students majoring in this program may take a required class only twice at Lewis University. If a student has not achieved a minimum of a "C-" after the second attempt, the student may not repeat the class.
Chemical Physics majors may not double major or minor in Physics or Chemistry.
