Course Load
One course, or 3 credits, is considered a normal course load for a graduate student who is fully employed. This course load for an eight-week course will require at least six hours of class time per week and approximately 6-12 hours per week of additional out-of-class study time. Students who have demonstrated their ability with the university may wish to enroll in more than one course during a session. These students, however, must expect heavy academic work loads.
Students may enroll themselves in up to 12 credits per term (fall: August-December; spring: January-May; summer: June-July). Students wishing to take more must have a grade point average of 3.0 or better and must request special permission from the director, Graduate Programs.
