POLICIES

Transfer students must take a minimum of 12 chemistry credits for a major at Edgewood College; 8 chemistry credits for a minor. All transfer courses must be approved by the Department.

A student must maintain a cumulative grade point average of 2.5 in chemistry courses. A chemistry course in which a student receives a grade below "CD" will not be accepted toward the major or minor.

Students majoring in chemistry will fulfill their computer competency requirement by taking CHEM 323 and CHEM 351.
