Questions to students who transferred to Dartmouth or have friends who transferred

<p>

17 credits = 17 classes? So do they count one class as one credit? The university that I’m at now does credit hours, so most classes count as 3 credit hours each.

<p>No, not in the way that you are phrasing this question How many actual classes have you taken.</p>

<p>At Dartmouth you need 35 classes/“credits” to graduate, not counting PE. These credits include distribution requirements, major and elective.</p>

<p>College Requirements</p>

<p>35 Courses</p>

<p>All students are required to earn 35 credits before graduation. The 35 credits can consist of pre-matriculation credits, credits earned at Dartmouth, and a maximum of 4 credits from an exchange term. Typically, Dartmouth students take 3 classes per term for twelve terms.</p>

<p>Each “credit” is the equivalent of a 3/4 credit class taken at a traditional semester system college. The 35 credits at Dartmouth will be ~ 120 credits when you calculate math/science as 4 credit classes and the other classes as 3 credit classes (based on the number of hours a week the sessions are being held)</p>

<p>if your 17 credits is has been taken over 5 classes, that is how many credits you will transfer over</p>
