How much time will each course require each week?
Graduate courses assume a minimum of two hours of preparation for each hour of class. Since there is not the usual three hour class session, that time is transferred to your preparation. This means that a 3 credit class should take you a minimum of 9 hours per week. This is just a minimum. Some students may need to devote more time than others. You will have the fl exibility to spread your time across the entire week, or in some cases across the entire semester.
