Four year Plan
Biology (BS) Teacher Licensure (6-12)
The following is a suggested four year plan of study for freshmen entering LMU during the 2015 academic year. Transfer students should
contact the department chair to determine how their credits will apply. This plan is to be used in conjunction with the university catalog and
advise of the faculty advisor. Courses on the plan may be taken during semesters other than those listed, based on availability and course
placement. This plan meets LMU’s Lincoln Liberal Arts Common Core requirements, major requirements and 300/400 level course
requirements. Lincoln Memorial University reserves the right to adjust at any time its Initial Teacher Licensure Undergraduate Program
requirements to comply with changes mandated by the State Board of Education.
Note: In order to graduate in four years (eight regular semesters) the student must average passing 16/17 hours per semester.
Courses with * must have a grade of C- or better.
