Work & Play @ UT Dallas
You may be surprised to find that UT Dallas students
- known for their challenging academic courseloads
- make a lot of time in their schedules to participate
in hundreds of activities outside of classes, labs and homework.
An average student courseload at UT Dallas is four classes, and
a typical class is worth 3 "credit hours". A credit hour is meant to
represent one hour per week that the average student
will spend working on the class. A typical courseload of 12 credit hours, therefore,
requires about 48 hours a week for classes, labs, homework, etc.
That's a large amount of time, but there are 168 hours in a week; plenty of time for sports, arts groups, student government positions, clubs,
research positions, sleep, internships, part-time jobs, and hanging out with friends.
