How many classes are recommended to be taken per semester/term (say if each term/semester lasts for 3 - 4 months), during Graduate School in the USA? In the UK, for my Undergraduate Degree I have 4 classes per semester and I also work 20 hours a week. So for Graduate School in the USA (for an MBA) I was thinking of taking 5 classes per semester, each being 3 Credits, with no or less hours of work. Do you think that's too much? What is the average number taken? These are my grades for some background info: We don't use the GPA thing in the UK but main exams are: GCSEs: Applied Information Technology (A*A*), Sciences - Biology, Chemistry, Physics (A*A*), Design Technology (A*), English Language (A), English Literature (A), Maths (A), French (A), R.E (A), General Studies (A). A-Levels: Advanced Information Technology (A), English Language (A), Psychology (A), Maths (B), General Studies (B). BSc in Computing - I have a Higher Magna Kum Laude so far. Oh and I worked 30 hours a week during the first year of Uni while having 4 classes per semester. Sooooooooo what would you recommend for me, how many classes do you think I can handle? Thanx in advance =)

I don't know about MBA programs, but in the sciences students typically take 2-3 classes a semester, and that's a ton of work right there - I don't remember sleeping the first two years of my masters work in physics, only taking 2 or 3 courses a semester. Most masters programs take 2 years to complete - see how many courses they require you take and divide that by 4 semesters.
