Academic Differences

Because the program I will be a part of is an immersion program that takes place during the summer, it will be more intensive than a regular course. Classes will meet 20 hours each week for a total of 108 hours of class time. This will be equivalent to 6 credit hours on my Maryville College transcript. For the summer, this is the minimum amount to be a full time student.

 All of the language courses focus on oral comprehension and expression as well as written comprehension and expression. It is broken down as 30 hours each for oral comprehension and oral expression, 34 hours for written comprehension, and 14 hours for written expression. This looks like it will be roughly equal to 2 course hours for each section except for written expression, which will be 1 hour. This gives a total of 7 hours, so I could wind up with either 6 or 7 total credit hours for Maryville College.
