Full-time credit load (undergraduate)
Credits equal the number of teaching hours per week (usually between 12 and 18). For
example, if the course is 3 teaching hours per week, it equals 3 credits. Class credits typically
range from 2 – 4. When planning, keep in mind that a 12 credit minimum is required by the
University of Montana. Usually, local students enroll for 4 to 6 courses (equivalent to 12 -18
credits.)
