General Track
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
