Project Plan My College Career
Your best friend, Paul Bauer, is simply brilliant. He has aced all of his courses since he started
college while working full time and heading three committees. Paul comes to you completely distraught. He has somehow missed one of his graduation requirements and needs to attend summer school. You are very concerned as Paul is a diligent student and if he could misunderstand
his graduation requirements then there is a chance you could have done the same. You want to
make sure you are on track to graduation and decide that a Gantt chart is the perfect tool to help
you succeed.

Project Focus
You have many requirements (milestones) to meet before you can graduate from your current
college. Create a Gantt chart in Microsoft Project or Microsoft Excel that takes you from your
freshman year to graduation in your senior year. Be sure your Gantt chart includes all of the
following:
1. Each course you must take to graduate.
2. The time frames required to complete each course.
3. Any resources required to complete each course (you are the primary resource).
