How many hours do I take as a full time student?
As a full time student you would take anywhere from 12 to 18 semester hours. Most of the courses you would take are 3 semester hour courses.
If possible, we recommend you take 12 semester hours your first semester at Ball State to give you some time to adjust to a new university and program. This is especially important is you plan on working part time.
Most student find taking 18 semester hours too demanding a load. Stellar students, who are not working part time, may be able to handle such a heavy load while in a professional program, but even such students wouldn't recommend it. It rules out any social life!
