Skraemer 30 Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Just curious in how many credit hours each PA student is "technically" taking in each didactic semester. I know this varies from program to program and semester to semester. Just wanted to see what everyones didactic year looked like! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dndandrea 86 Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Almost every PA program's website has their curriculum with the # of credits each semester if you're interested in specific programs. As you mentioned, it varies by program. My first semester was 17 last fall, now there's 21 this spring semester. Not sure what you mean by "technically". The credit hours resemble how many hours of the week you are in a class, which always add up correctly. However, most PA classes require a lot more time studying outside of classes than your typical undergraduate class, which is what most people refer to when they say comparing credit hours to undergrad or other programs isn't fair.
