Häufig Gestellte Fragen
What is considered a full course load?
Full-time is typically 12-18 credits (4-6 courses). 15 credits is the standard for graduating in 4 years.
Is 18 credits too many?
It depends on course difficulty and your other commitments. 18 credits with a part-time job is very demanding. Start with 15 and increase if you manage well.
Can I take fewer credits and still be full-time?
Most schools require 12 credits for full-time status. This affects financial aid, housing, and health insurance eligibility.
