It is for some schools. I'm not sure why, but my university's standard is four unless you're in engineering. I think it has to do with how we count our credits differently? How many credits do you guys need for graduation? I'm in quarter system right now, but I know Cal's is 120 to graduate. And re-thinking it, I never took major into account. I think with science courses, four is standard. With L&S, five is standard, four is taking it easy, and six is sacrificing a part-time job. :[ |

Ours is 120 credits too. Maybe it's just the way things have always been done here. There are still some people who take five or six courses a semester... they're just less common.
Yay, I'm more than halfway through - 68 by the end of this semster, woot! But... still so many Business and Psychology courses to take... |

But upper divs are the best! Maybe harder work sometimes, but at least they're in your field of interest. (:

The standard course load at my school was four classes a semester, too, but my school did credits in a kind of weird way. A "normal" class was 1 credit, and typically met about 4 hours per week. You needed 32 credits to graduate. For transfer purposes, one credit at my school mapped to 4 credits as most other schools, which meant you were taking the equivalent of 16 credits per semester and and required the equivalent of 128 credits to graduate (generally speaking, some majors required more). |
