Semester Course Load
Posted: Wed Jan 31, 2018 6:48 pm
Hello,
I just started my senior year this semester, and I am taking my last upper division classes. The physics classes in my school are 4 credits/class, and I am currently taking 17 credits hours CRH ( physics courses (11 CRH) and 1 PDE math course (3 CRH) + research (3 CRH)). I was thinking about dropping the math course to focus on the physics's, but I will be ending up with 3 classes + research, which brings me to the question: Do graduate schools care about the course load? I am asking this since the maximum number of science classes I took in a semester was three and that was just one semester in my junior year, so I am afraid that I will come out as a slacker.
