NOTES:

(*) = MATH 425 in only offered in odd years and STAT 481 in even years, so these courses may need to be swapped in the plan
Graduation Requirements: Total credit hrs>=120 (40 credit hrs @ 300-level or higher)
WE = Writing Enhanced course
If you have not completed the Civics Exam, we recommend doing so in your first year.
Truman students are required to complete a to graduate. We recommend starting to compile your work for the Portfolio sooner than later.
Students must complete their Application to Graduate the semester prior to graduating. 蓝莓视频 to graduate through TruView.
Graduating seniors need to complete their seniors test and questionnaire. We recommend reviewing the to plan accordingly.
The Dialogues curriculum requires a certain number of courses/credit hours in the following Perspectives: Social, Arts and Humanities, STEM, Communications, and Statistics. The exact number of courses a student will be required to take during their undergraduate career varies individually according to the credit transferred in.
