Total Credit Hours: 128

Major Credit Hours: 51-54

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

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