<p>Okay, this may seem like a stupid question but here goes...</p>

<p>Im looking at the various schools and their per hour credit tuition fees. How does the "per hour" fee translate into a total semester cost? </p>

<p>IE, how many "credit hours" are in the average semester for a four year degree?</p>

<p>Nobody? Just tryin to figure out how much thisll cost…</p>

<p>How many hours you need depends on your school and your major. </p>

<p>For me, I’m pretty sure I need 128 (semester) hours, which comes to an average of 16 hours a semester to finish in 4 years.</p>

<p>{16 (hours)} X {2 (semesters)} X {4 (years)} = 128</p>

<p>I actually recommend taking classes over the summer at a CC, so that you can take like 13 hours and still graduate in 4 years.</p>

<p>Some colleges will give a discount to full-time students on credits above 12 or 15 per semester</p>
