     The following sample eight-semester schedule four (4) years of courses illustrates a framework for completing an education certification program in four years.   Some students would rather take less credit hours per semester because they have a job, family or other situations/responsibilities that may require a lighter course load.  Some students like to start their first year with 12 credits instead of 15 or 16, to help them get adjusted to college life.
