<p>I have been reading the Brandeis course bulletin to learn about their curriculum. The credits for each course are not listed. Is that a fixed number (like, 3 credits per course)?
Also, how many courses and credits does a full-time undergraduate student normally take each semester? What is the total number of courses or credits one must accumulate prior to graduation? I am wondering if one will be able to pursue dual majors if outside (e.g., AP course credits) are NOT used.
Thanks.</p>
<p>Typical course is 4 credits (science labs are generally 2 credits). You need 128 credits (or 32 courses) to graduate. Thus, a typical course load (ex labs) is four per semester.</p>
<p>Double majoring is common, even without AP credit, since the gen ed/ distribution requirements aren't particularly extensive. Double majoring in two sciences is also doable, but requires a little more planning because of prereqs.</p>
<p>I'm not using my APs to pass me out of anything and I'm triple majoring, possibly. <em>shrug</em> Not that hard. Double majors are kind of the norm. I only know of one person that isn't double majoring with at least one minor.</p>
<p>^^^ wow!! Great.</p>
