Yes, but IMO (or at least here at $yracuse) the increased workload in
each class *more* than compensates for the decreased # of credit hours.
However, as you observe, this varies from program to program, school to
school. I had 15 credit hours/semester for my BA and spent a lot of time
doing other things: college paper, watching hockey ;-)
 
I'm taking only 9 a semester now (no, I'm not a student-athlete, just a
teaching assistant) and struggling to maintain the same GPA I had in
undergrad.
 
So I have a lot of respect for students who can do what Lisko did:
players like Joe Juneau....
