How many courses do you have to take?
In total they are 5 to 6.5 academic credits, depending on the curriculum of the college or school where you study and the level of English you have. Five credits are equivalent to 5 subjects of one year duration. Courses can be one year (1 credit) or one semester (half credit) in length. A usual combination would be for example 3 courses of a whole year and 4 courses of a semester. Courses are selected by students from an extensive catalog of courses in the areas of English, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, Physical Education and Health, Fine Arts, Languages, and Electives.
