Typical Four Year Plan
Completion of Creighton's bachelor's degree program within four years requires taking an average of 16 credit hours per semester, as well as timely completion of the core and degree requirements. Below is a suggested timetable for Biology majors. Students desiring a lighter load during the regular academic year may wish to consider summer school offerings in order to complete 32 hours or more per year. Information on the Core Requirements is available from the Arts & Sciences website.
