Full time or part time. You may also have to maintain full time status. For most colleges that is 12 credits .... 4x3credit classes.

Are you on AD? I used to take a couple at a time when I was still enlisted. When I left the Army and went back to school I started at 15 per semester, although they were all science courses with labs. During my last semester I took more hours, but they were mostly elective credits at that point that were pretty easy. If I were you I would start on the lower side and add classes down the line if you can manage.

Iy also depends on the length of the term. Some schools have terms that are around 8 weeks, while the more traditional fall and spring semesters are closer to 16. I actually preferred the accelerated/truncated format. I would much rather take one class every 8 weeks than take 2 classes over a 16 week term.

SGT (Join to see) Start out with two or three classes the first semester and see how it goes. it also depends on how hard the classes are and if there are labs, plus how many hours you can take and also maintain your Army commitment. After I was discharged, I worked shift work (42 hours a week) and managed to take 12 hours a semester. I obtained my degree in five and a half years.
