The maximum credit load is 20 credits per semester, except in the School of Business and Economics (see below). If there is a justifiable reason for a student to enroll in more than 20 credits, they must receive permission from their program advisor and the dean's office of their school.

Master of Science in Finance students will be limited to 18 credits in their first two semesters and 10 credits in their third semester. Master of Science in Business Analytics students will be limited to 19 credits in their first semester and 18 credits in their second semester, and 10 credits in their third semester. Master of Business Administration students will be limited to 20 credits per semester. Enrollment limits can only be overridden by explicit permission of the student’s Program Advisor.
