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.... David M. Josselyn [log in to unmask] GO MERRIMACK! GO ARGUS! /\ / \ /(*) \ / \ /________\
