How many hours per week should I expect to spend on coursework?

The amount of time required to complete your coursework depends on the course and its required activities as well as your comfort level or prior knowledge of the course material.

On average, you should expect to spend 45 hours per credit on coursework over the length of a course.

Here is an example based on taking a 3-credit course in an 8-week session:

3-credit course x 45 hours = 135 hours/8 weeks = about 17 hours per week
