Looks like I’m going to have to move up to 2 classes at a time-how feasible is this? Finance ALM
So I’m wrapping up my 3rd gatekeeper course for the ALM in Finance (final is tonight). I paid out of pocket for these, but was planning on taking out loans as soon as I was eligible so I’m not coming $40k out of pocket.
I just discovered something I completely overlooked-to get direct government loans, I have to be enrolled “half time” - 8 credits in the spring and fall and 4 credits in the summer. Up till now, I’ve only taken one class at a time.
How is the workload for 2 courses? I have a finance background so principles was reasonably easy, the stats class was a breeze, and micro has been manageable but not a cakewalk. But staring down the rest of the program, doing classes like Accounting and Financial Statement Analysis together seems more daunting. How do the rest of the classes compare to the gatekeeper classes?
FWIW, I work about 50 hours a week, but that includes a good amount of travel.
