Until students have completed 72 credits of coursework they are only allowed to take a maximum of 4 PhD research courses. The rest must be filled with “regular” classes or, preferrably, special topics classes. After 72 credits, if you can still take classes (and not all people can, see Tamar about this) you’re allowed to take as many research classes as you wish.
