<p>The typical workload is 4 full credit courses a semester. 4.5 is the max you can take without overloading. You need permission for 5.5 or above and usually you need to work your way up (ie. take 5.5 before taking 6 before taking 6.5). </p>
<p>The courses themselves vary widely in terms of work. You’ll obviously get more work with math/science/eng courses since they have lab and recitation and whatnot. Classes can range from 2 75-minute lectures a week to 3 50-minute lectures plus 1 hr recitation plus 3 hr lab a week.</p>
