<p>What is the overall number of courses that a student at Penn takes by graduation? Is it 4 or 5 per semester? I am looking at double-majoring and minoring (PPE + Psychology and Minor in American Public Policy) and having some free electives but I am not sure how possible this is...</p>

<p>Credits for Graduation</p>
<p>The total number of credit units ("c.u.," or "credits") needed for graduation varies between 32 and 36 depending on the number of credits required in the major. Each major specifies a certain number of credits that must be completed, but never less than 12. In addition to the major, students must normally complete 20 credits outside the major. No more than 36 credits will be required for graduation. Those whose majors require more than 16 credits may take correspondingly fewer than 20 outside the major.</p>
