Four year Plan
BFA in Creative Writing
The following is a suggested four-year plan of study for freshmen entering LMU during the 2016-2017 academic year. This plan
should be used in conjunction with the University catalog and in consultation with the faculty advisor. Transfer students should
contact their advisor if they have questions regarding transfer credit. Courses listed on the four-year plan may be taken during
other semesters, based on availability and course placement. This plan meets LMU’s general education (Liberal Arts Common
Core) requirements, major requirements and 300/400 level course requirements. NOTE: In order to graduate in four years (eight
regular semesters), the student must average successful completion of 16 to 17 credit hours per semester. Please refer to the legend
