*NOTE: A grade of C- or above is required in all CHE courses.
* On occasion, technical and/or program requirements may also meet specific core curriculum requirements. Please
confer with your program advisor to determine which courses, if any, may be counted accordingly.
Please note: The courses above are intended to represent the most current technical and major requirements for this
program. The University Catalog, however, is the ultimate and final authority for all degree-related requirements.
Current students should follow the curriculum requirements stated in the University Catalog under the academic year
they matriculated to Lenoir-Rhyne, which may be different than the list above. Additionally, all undergraduate degree
programs at LR require a minimum of 128 earned credit hours. If, in combination, the core, technical, and program
requirements do not culminate in at least 128 hours, additional credits must be earned to achieve 128 hours. These
credits may be general electives, or a student may complete a minor or additional major. Please refer to the University
Catalog for a complete listing of all graduation requirements and/or confer with your Academic Advisor.
