Thanks. The course plan my counselor at the community college came up with is a light load, roughly six to nine hours per semester. As written it would take four years to complete (including a semester of prerequisites). I'd intended to take a full course load with the goal of finishing within five semesters, six at most. I thought it doable based on info in the course catalog, as well as others' reported experiences. But eight semesters? Ye cats. Seems well outside the norm based on what I've read.
