Four year Plan
Social Work (BS)
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 at the bottom of the page for an explanation of superscripts.
