Think 15

As you enroll, Think 15!

There is a common misconception among many students that 12 hours is a full academic load, when in fact most degree programs require 120 hours or more for graduation. This averages out to about 15 hours each semester. As you make a plan to complete your degree requirements, Think 15! Taking less than 15 hours per semester may require additional semesters and added time and expense. Most importantly, the longer you are in college the more likely you are to leave without earning a degree which could really cost you. So, as you enroll for the upcoming semester - Think 15!
