3-Year Graduation Schedule - B.A. Degree
Department of Religious Studies, Missouri State University
Religious Studies (non-comprehensive) Bachelor of Arts Updated August 2009
A 3-year plan does not take into account dual credit or transfer credit that a student may bring with him or her upon admission to MSU. The point here is that it is possible to graduate in less than four years.
A 3-year graduation plan is not for every student and it assumes: (1) no remedial coursework is required, (2) the student does not fail any classes, (3) the student does not change either the major or minor, and (4) the student is willing to take classes in each summer.
With a BA degree, an 18-hour minor is required.
For a BA degree the student will need 12 hours of foreign language, HST 103 and HST 104, a PHI course, and six hours of fine arts.
