Hey guys, I've been looking into Georgia Military College for next year and was wondering if anyone has information on how many credit hours their usual classes are? I could definitely use some insight, just trying to plan out my potential schedules.
Hello! At most colleges, including Georgia Military College, a typical course is usually worth 3 credit hours. This generally indicates that you'll be spending about three hours in class per week for that specific course. However, there are exceptions, such as lab classes or seminars, which might be more. So if you're seeing a 4 credit hour class, keep in mind that this means it might have an additional hour of class each week, or perhaps a lab component that takes up extra time.
Another point to keep in mind is that for each credit hour, you're expected to put in about two to three hours of study time outside of class each week. So a 3-credit class would require around six to nine hours of study time in addition to the three hours spent in class. Of course, this may vary depending on the difficulty of the course and your own study habits!
I would recommend getting in touch with an academic advisor at Georgia Military College. They could give you more specifics about the usual credit load for your intended major and help you map out a tentative course schedule. Good luck with your planning!
