可是我实在不明白，如果一学期4门课，四年是32门课，我数了数本科所有的必修课，多半都有40门左右，那美国的本科生四年是怎么修完的呢？别笑我无知，不同国情，关于美国教育的知识我贫乏的可怜，shy~

I've NEVER heard of 40 required classes. It seems inconceivable. Even my boyfriend, who's a computer science major and subject to more difficult conditions, has no more than 12-15 required classes. My entire major is 10 classes. When I was in one of the premeier undergraduate business school in the country it was no more than 15 as well.

Are you sure you don't mean 40 required CREDITS? One full class is usually 4 +/- credits.

Also, usually you need your professor's permission to do this.

不是required courses,我算的是所有加起来的，包括general education courses(数学啊，计算机啊，自然科学啊等等的),还有core courses 和本专业的requirement courses。这样7788加起来真的有几十门7，还有我看见本科生一般要求120个学分才能毕业，算每门课3个学分，那不也有40门课了吗？

一般基本的数学课象微积分都是5个学分一门课,有些计算机课带LAB的都是4个学分一门课.别的不太清楚.

My school requires 120 credits to graduate. Most courses are 4 credits, though.

good good .
