Professor lecturing in an auditorium-style classroom

Sample Schedules

The average IU freshman takes four to six courses (about 15 credit hours) per semester. With the flat tuition fee covering 12 to 17 credit hours each semester, many students do take the full 17 hours, which can be as few as four courses or as many as eight.

These sample freshman schedules show 14 to 16 hours a week in class and they leave long stretches of time open for studying, friends, working out, and student activities. When you arrive for New Student Orientation in the summer, your academic advisor will help you put together a schedule that works for you.
