<p>How many hours or classes does one usually take during a semester studying abroad?</p>
<p>It really depends on the program format and length as well as the specific student. For example, some students take the equivalent of 15 credits over a semester, but others will take 12. Summer programs seem to offer the equivalent of 6-12 credits. Keep in mind that not all countries or study abroad programs have course formats similar to those at UA and other US universities. </p>
