How many hours do devote every week in order to finish 12 Credits per term???

sheths Hi! It’s different for everyone and depends on things like what courses you’re taking, how much prior experience you have, etc. My days ranged from full-day studying in the summer (since teachers can opt to not work during that time) to trying to squeeze in study time for a couple hours before work and a sliver of time during lunch break during the school year.

vmcmv thanks, i am thinking of getting Degree in BS information technology management. But i am still unsure if i can pull it off. I mean it will be a lot of studying and i am 30+ already.

sheths I don’t think your age matters so much as the flexibility for your work day + family needs + prior experience. If your current job isn’t too overbearing and your family situation is flexible, you can definitely squeeze in enough study time! And it helps to already know a lot about the subjects you’re learning.

vmcmv true, Honestly I want to finish it in less than 2 years but i guess for that I would have to take too many courses.

sheths It’s still worth a try-you might surprise yourself!
