How many credit hours?

[Adela]

How many credits do you usually take each semester? I think I must be crazy because I'm taking 17 credit hours.

I have to take every single class that I signed up for, so I have no option to drop anything. I'm sort of freaking out. I changed my major so many times that if I don't play catch up I won't graduate on time which means more loans.

I'm taking American Lit, Intro to Lit Studies, World History II, Accelerated Spanish, and Health. The Spanish class is 6 credit hours because it helps people who need a foreign language and don't have many semesters left.

Well for the last year I have taken 17 hours each semester plus I am a mom and wife. This year though I transfered to an online college so I will be taking 18 hours a semester. I think I might be nuts too but I want to graduate in couple years lol.

15 hrs. per semester, occasionally 16.

This semester I'm taking nothing but psychology (I made the controversial choice of taking nothing but Core stuff my first two years): Adv. Developmental, Clinical Child, Personality, Cognitive, and Language Development. Sadly, Clininal Child Psych., the area I'm really looking to getting into as a professional, doesn't even count toward my degree.

Good, I'm glad to know other people can do it. My advisor said that 17 was really a lot. I'm an English major and at first I was registered for three Literature courses. She told me I was going to regret it because of all the reading and papers.

My history class is going to be hard because we only have three tests and they are all essays. I guess I'm just concerned with all of the papers and essays and endless, endless reading.

I'm also upset because I took a World History class at my last college with was supposed to satisfy my core, but when I transferred it doesn't count in the area it was supposed to. So, I basically have to take the same course over again except this time it's going to be harder.

21 for me this semester.

12 here. You guys are nuts. I once took 18. It literally killed my study habits; it was so bad, I never wanted to study again

 

[pokeyliz14]

16 here.

 

[SarahlovesChrist]

18 credits for me this semester .

 

[sb573]

23 this term 4 in Microbiology, 5 in Chemistry, 4 in orangic chemistry, 3 in Stats, 2 in communications and 5 in Biochemistry.

Last term I had 16 so this one might be a little tougher than last time

I usually took 15 or 18 credit hours per semester in undergrad. There were also generally between 6 and 15 hours of labs on top of that since most of my classes were science classes. That was totally normal for my program though. We were expected to take a heavier course load than the liberal arts students were even allowed to take.

12 credits and a full time job.

 

[metherion]

15 or 16 (can't remember if I get credit for my lab or not) credits this semester: fluid dynamics, renaissance history, computer science(and lab), intellectual property and chemical engineers, plus one more I don't even remember.

 

[godisgr8]

This is my first year, I'm taking 13.

 

[oneshot012]

I have taken as much as 21 and as little as 12 but I like 15-18 this semester is 15 because they don't have anymore classes for me to take and they won't let me have an independent study.

 

[Adela]

Ok, so I guess I should stop complaining. It looks like most of you guys have about the same amount as me.

I tried doing 21 once and it was way too much.

 

[littlemrs]

I have 12 this semester plus 30 hours on average of work.

 

[jobygirl]

I'm taking 16 credit hours. But I might add amother class that's only worth one credit hour, so then I'll have 17.

 

[rodgeam]

I've taken as many as 18 and as few as 13, plus working one or two jobs the whole time. Due to my changes of major plus the minor I added last spring, I'm pretty sure I won't be graduating on time.

 

[KellyLeigh]

19 here.
