Graduate
work is considerably more demanding and involves much more independent
investigation than undergraduate study. For this reason, students
who have been used to carrying fifteen or eighteen or even more
hours per semester in college must learn to cut down their load
in graduate school. The university regards twelve credit hours
as the normal desirable full-time load in a fall or spring semester;
a comparable load in a Summer Session would be six hours. Assistant
instructors may reduce their graduate course load according
to the amount of time they spend teaching. However, for a regular
half-time graduate teaching assistant six hours is the minimum
course load in a fall or spring semester.
