Sample Academic Plans
The sample plans listed below are designed to provide suggestions for sequencing your major courses, but there are also other ways to sequence most majors. These plans are meant to provide aid in early, provisional planning. Please consult with your academic advisor if you have questions.
For Undergraduate students:
- 4-Year Sample Plans are made on the presumption that an incoming student has no college credit prior to enrolling at Truman State University.
- Transfer-friendly Sample Plans are made on the presumption that an incoming student has an Associate of Arts (AA) degree prior to enrolling at Truman. Some programs have specified if any course equivalents must be completed prior to beginning at Truman in order to stay on track with the sample plan.
