Biochemistry / Bachelor of Science
Program: BS-BIOC-1
Total Credit Hours: 122-134
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.
