How many credits should a grad student take per semester?

My school allows 15, but I was wondering if 15 would be very difficult to manage, unlike in undergraduate school.

    It varies by program and how long you want to take to get through.

    As a PhD student I took three or four classes per term. As an MBA student, I took at least 15 credits.

    For anything other than a PhD, you can look up the number of credits you need to graduate and divide by the number of terms (e.g., MBA, divide by four semesters, law school divide by six semesters, etc).

    i'm consider customarily all and sundry else that there isn't any way you would be waiting to have the money for it. the motor vehicle word shall be outrageous, and you being a 21 yo male......i stumble on VERY unbelieavable you need to get coverage for $80 a month (must be conceivable in case you in basic terms had liab. which i does not propose for this new of a motor vehicle). in case you financial the motor vehicle (which seems to be the case right here), you're REQUIRED to hold complete insurance, and thinking this form of vehicle you're questioning approximately buying, i could guess approximately $200-$3 hundred/month. This extreme of an quantity stems out of your age, form of vehicle, form of insurance, deductible quantities, and the place you reside. it may additionally be greater in case you have low credit. in simple terms like somebody else stated, you may haven't any existence in view which you would be making an investment all your cash on your motor vehicle! Then, if it breaks down, you is frequently "up a creek without paddle," through fact the announcing is going.

    15 is the normal amount. I wouldnt recommend taking less because then it will be longer for you to graduate and you could start to slack off. Also dont take all the easy classes first, either spread them out or save them till your last year.
