What is the typical undergraduate course load at Lesley?
The prescribed four-year course load at Lesley College is five to six courses per semester (15–18 credits). Some students will take only four courses per semester, especially during the first year. However, to meet the minimum academic requirements of 120 credits, a student must average 30 credits per year. Courses taken during the summer or January term can help to contribute to this total. Full-time students may register for up to 18 credits per semester. Those students who receive permission to carry a course overload will be charged per credit hour for all course credits over the normal course load of 18 credits per semester. In order to be considered full-time, a student must be enrolled in at least 12 credits per semester. Part-time students must be enrolled in at least 9 credits per semester.
