How many courses/credits would I commonly take during a four week summer session?

How many courses or credits should I expect to take during a four-week summer session?

To give you some background, I’m an international student who will have just completed high school in my home country this summer. I’m considering enrolling in a college for a few weeks to gain some experience. What would be a reasonable number of credits to take? I’m not focused on accreditation from my home country; I just want to make the most of this opportunity. Thanks for your help!

  1. For a four-week summer session, most colleges typically offer intensive courses that can range from 3 to 6 credits, depending on the institution and the specific course structure. Since you’re looking for a short-term experience and not necessarily accreditation, I would recommend starting with just one course, especially if it’s your first time at a college.

    Taking one course will allow you to focus and get a feel for the college environment without overwhelming yourself. It’s also a great way to explore your interests in a more relaxed setting. If you find you’re comfortable and want to engage more, you can consider taking another course in a future session.

    Make sure to check with the school you’re interested in attending for their specific summer offerings and any guidance they might have for international students. Enjoy your experience!
