Number of Courses Per Semester

<p>So I know you need 30 courses to graduate, does it matter how you distribute the number of courses you take? By this I mean, can you take 5 courses a semester? Also, what happens if you exceed the 30 courses (like if you decided to take 5 courses per semester for all 4 years)?</p>

<p>You can take 5 a semester (although I don't recommend it your first semester). You can certainly take 5 courses every semester. Exceeding 30 courses is normal...if you take 4 a semester you're at 32. I think only 2 summer classes can count toward your 30 course minimum though.</p>

<p>So you won't be charged extra?</p>

<p>Is it possible to take more than 32 courses in 4 years? I know Brown allows a fifth year if you need it to fulfill concentration requirements which allows you to take upto 38 courses. Is the same possible in 4 years?</p>

<p>You can take anywhere between 3 and 5 courses a semester without paying extra for the semester. It's that simple.</p>

<p>are summer courses extra?</p>

<p>yes, summer courses are pretty pricey</p>

<p>but cheaper than normal classes!</p>

<p>And you can get fin aid for summer, too</p>
