Course Load Planning

Students should average sixteen (16) credit hours each semester to graduate with a Bachelor’s degree in eight semesters. Those majoring in Biology, Education, and Psychology, should average 17 to 19 credit hours per semester. Students required to take lighter loads because of academic probation or enrollment in developmental classes or students whose abilities make lighter loads advisable should plan on one or more additional semesters to graduate. Students may also take coursework in summer school to avoid additional semesters of regular enrollment.
