Creating a Graduation Plan
A graduation plan is a comprehensive list of all the courses to be taken semester by semester and requirements needed to graduate from KSU with a degree in education.
This sample plan is to assist you in making your own personal graduation plan. You will put together your graduation plan in the Orientation to Teacher Education at Kansas State University course. Remember: as your personal plans change, so will your graduation plan. A graduation plan continues to evolve and change according to your situation. Don’t hesitate to make revisions.
