Recommended Four-Year Plan (Fall 2015)
This recommended four-year plan is designed to provide a blueprint for students to complete their degrees within four years. These
plans are the recommended sequences of courses. Students must meet with their Major Advisor to develop a more individualized
plan to complete their degree. This plan assumes that no developmental courses are required. If developmental courses are
needed, students may have additional requirements to fulfill which are not listed in the plan and degree completion may take
longer. Three writing intensive courses are required in the major and/or school core (examples are marked by WI designation in
the plan below). Consult with your advisor for specific details.
NOTE: This recommended Four-Year Plan is applicable to students admitted into the major during the 2015-2016 academic year.
