How to use your 4-Year Plan
- This is a suggested 4-year plan for your major and not meant to replace regular academic advising.
- The plan is flexible and can be changed to accommodate studying abroad, a second major/minor(s) or AP/IB credits.
- You should work with an academic advisor to develop a plan that meets your interests and goals.
- You must earn a minimum of 120 credits to graduate and 45 major-specific credits to earn a B.A. in English, Literature, Rhetoric and Cultural Studies.
- Transfer students and those looking to add B.A. in English, Literature, Rhetoric and Cultural Studies as a second major should contact the program advisor for degree planning.
Suggested 4-Year Plan
- We encourage you to select your General Education (GE) and minor/second major/Themed Inquiry/Honors program around the plan below. Once you fill your GE classes around your major classes, you will have a better idea of space remaining each semester when choosing your Exploration Focus.
