<p>I'm transferring to a university and in my program, all the classes are less than 5 credits. I really want to finish my degree within 2 years because I've been in school long enough, and because of financial reasons. Maybe I should take 4 classes per quarter whenever I get the chance, totalling to about 17 credits. Has anyone ever done this, and how was the workload like?</p>
<p>I think at most schools 3 credits would be the standard class.</p>
<p>I second RoxSox. Which makes me wonder: what is the normal course load at your college? </p>
<p>If the regular course load is 15 credits, 17 should be doable. If the regular course load is 9, 17 might be borderline suicidal.</p>
<p>17 credits sounds about normal to me…unless those 17 are like all lab classes or something else with a lot of time commitment.</p>
<p>Actually quite a few schools have standard 4-credit classes. Mine goes by ‘course units,’ and each class is 1 unit, but for conversions, they say to use 1 unit = 4 credits. Mine are essentially all 4-credit classes. Some are 1 credit (.25 unit), 2 (.5 unit), because music majors have a bunch of weird classes like that!</p>
