Students are expected to be enrolled full time for the duration of their studies at UT Southwestern. First-year students in the Division of Basic Science take 12 credit hours in the fall term, 12 credit hours in the spring term, and six credit hours in the summer term. In subsequent years they are enrolled in nine credit hours in the fall, nine credit hours in the spring, and six credit hours in the summer.
Typically, didactic course work is completed in the first one to two years, and then students are enrolled for research seminars or Journal Clubs totaling full-time enrollment equivalency. Course requirements for each Graduate Program are listed in the appropriate sections of this catalog.
