You can do a grad degree with 39 hours of course time? I'll admit, I haven't looked, but that's only a few weeks of undergrad.

I'm not sure what you mean.....

The 39 hours are background courses, undergrad courses in Computer Science. 39 hours would be the equivalent of 13 classes. At 3 or so classes per semester, it would take two years to finish the undergrad requirements.

THEN, you get to apply for the Master's program. If accepted, that's 36 more hours of graduate work.

So it looks like this:

- Finish my Bachelor's degree

- 39 hours of background courses in Computer Science

- 36 hours of graduate courses in Computer Science.

That would take another four years after my bachelor's degree.. basically.

Alright, I'm downright confused here. is there some kind of "per week" factor that was implicit but went over my head? You're saying 3 hours per class and I took that to mean that you go to a single 3 hour class and you're finished the course in a day. 😕

3 hours as in 3 credit-hours per semester. That's 3 hours a week for about 4 months at a time.

Learn, and be amazed.
