<p>My daughter will be attending Pitt on a full-tuition scholarship. Given the current probable increase in tuition, I’m really wanting her to finish her degree in eight semesters (plus the co-op time) in order to avoid paying exorbitant tuition for any extra semester/year. How feasible is it for an engineering student who takes a full (but not overfull) load each semester to finish in eight semesters? She will not be trying to use AP credit for Calculus, etc… as I want her to take those courses at Pitt to prevent potential academic problems later in the course sequence. Thanks!</p>
<p>Each engineering department website has the full 8 semester course requirements listed. Example for Chem E:
[Undergraduate</a> Program](<a href=“http://webster.engr.pitt.edu/chemical/undergraduate/degreePrograms/index.html]Undergraduate”>http://webster.engr.pitt.edu/chemical/undergraduate/degreePrograms/index.html)
They all assume the student starts with Calculus. The key is not to take ANY courses which do not count for one of the requirements.</p>
<p>Thanks web2094. I’m going to make sure that she is fully aware of what she needs to do in order to graduate in eight semesters.</p>
