<p>yes, no, maybe so?</p>
<p>Possible? Yes, Advisable? No. well... it really depends on weather or not the program is intended to be completed in a year or not...</p>
<p>but, be prepared to take courses you may not be interested in just to squeeze together a tight schedule, deal with the finacial aid dilemma and basically having no life for a year.</p>
<p>All in all, you may end up making sacrifices that may not be to your benefit in the future.</p>
<p>I would not do this or advise anyone to do it. The amount of work per grad class is MUCH more than in an undergrad class - easily twice as much when you figure the extra reading, writing, and research. Grad students generally don't take more than 9 credit hours a semester. It's not worth performing poorly in your classes, trust me.</p>
<p>For my masters at Columbia I did 15 credits fall semester, 12 for spring, and 3 in the summer. So in total I did 30 credits but 33 credits wouldn't be too much worst. It all depends on the school, find ones with 1 year masters program with no thesis. Most grad students like DeepSeekPhD don't take more than ~3 classes a semester but again every school is different.</p>
<p>I would also say that a school that either allows you to do this or has classes where you are able to do this is not the best program. Of course, this all depends entirely on what your program is and what you are planning to do with it. Fields like education or MSW are different. But if you are getting a masters in an academic field, and if you are planning to go on for a PhD, this is a concern. If you are planning to go for a PhD, by the way, you do NOT want a program where you skip the thesis.</p>
<p>What is your field, and what do you want to do with it?</p>
<p>I think it also depends on whether you plan to focus solely on taking classes, or whether you plan to have a 20-hour/week graduate assistantship or some other kind of job. If you don't have any kind of job/assistantship, it might be feasible to take 12 credits per semester. You could take 12 in the fall, 12 in the spring, and then 9 during the summer. That could work out if you're strong academically in that field. But if you're also holding down some kind of job or assistantship, I think that would really be a stretch.</p>
