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
