Sample Four-Year Plan of Study 2025-2026
The following are sample plans of course requirements to complete the Writing major in four years or eight semesters.
- Each student’s experience will vary slightly, as these plans do not include transfer work or credit for prior learning (such as Advanced Placement-AP).
- Math, English, and Reading placement is primarily determined by high school performance and confirmed by on-site assessment.
- If fundamental courses are required, they should be taken within the first year.
- All courses listed are three semester hours unless indicated otherwise.
NOTE: Four-year plans assume the student is prepared to take the courses listed. If prerequisites are required, additional semester hours may be required to complete the degree.
