I have a question I can't seem to find an answer to online and feel silly for asking the University. Why does Rush require so many credits to graduate (108)? Most other programs only require between 50-60 credits to graduate, including the practicum. I don't mean so sound like I can't handle it, but 18 credit a quarter kind of freaks me out a bit. Coming from the University of WA undergrad, we had around 15 credit a quarter, which was already a handful. Thanks for your help!
