well just in my mind i would think there would be less credit hours a quarter to equal out to semester programs since quarters are shorter yet content is equivalent to semester programs so its therefore learned at a faster pace, instead of having more courses when you already have a shorter time period to learn material. but i get it, and my questioning and confusion are understandable as other people I've talked to had similar thoughts in regards to a quarter system. it is interesting that everyone in specialist programs comes out with the same degree in the same amount of time whether ur program is 66 credit hours or 90.

^the quarter thing still kinda confuses me though in why it would result in more credit hours. i would think they would spread classes out across the quarters and then still be around the same in credit hours to semester programs instead of having more classes and more credit hours.

can anyone give me advice regarding credit hours in programs and how this relates to the difficulty of the program. ed.s. takes only 3 years every where i applied, but some schools have more credit hours than others. i like university of denver, but the program is 90 credit hours and the other programs I'm considering are more around 76. any thoughts on this?

Hi! I am also interviewing at Northeastern for their ED.S.!

lol there is also a flight at 3pm the next day that is the same price. there is just a 100 dollar difference in flights day of interview and the day after the interview. so technically staying an extra night would save me 100 dollars if i was able to stay with a grad student. but i also don't want it to be like I'm putting them out or awkward to stay another night!

Thank you for the response! Do applicants typically just stay one night if they do stay with a current student, being the night before the interview? basically id fly in the day before, than the next day my interview ends by 12/1pm and i could get a flight that leaves at 5/7pm same day or otherwise it'd be a flight at 6am the next day.

Hey everyone i was wondering, how common is it for people to stay with current students for the interview? I am flying to all of my interviews and only one program gave a lot of info on hotel and shuttle service to campus. everyone else just gave a date and location.
