Physics / Concentration in Chemical Physics / Bachelor of Science

Total Credit Hours: 128

Major Credit Hours: 78

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

Physics majors with a chemical physics concentration may not double major or minor in chemistry.
