What is a credit hour?

            1 credit hour equals 1 hour of lecture
            ° A graduate level course at IIT is usually
              3 credit hours
            ° So, a 3 credit course at IIT means that
              the course is offered three times per
              week or once a week for
              (3 c.h. x 1 hour) 3 hours

« Success Story »
    Julien Branlard begins work at Fermilab today as the first
    John Bardeen Engineering Fellow. A recent graduate of the
    Illinois Institute of Technology, Julien Branlard is
    the first recipient of the John Bardeen Engineering
    Fellowship.
    "Julien will make an outstanding addition to
    Fermilab," said Ralph Pasquinelli, Accelerator Division RF
    Department Head and the inspiration behind the fellowship.
    "He's an articulate, talented team player who will hit the
    ground running with his outstanding engineering skills."
    Branlard began his studies in France and transferred to
    the Illinois Institute of Technology in 2000. After
    graduating with a Ph.D. in electrical engineering last
    December, he began looking for a way to continue his work in
    the United States.   Fermilab Today 2005

CHOICE OF COURSES AT IIT
        IMPORTANT POINTS TO REMEMBER:
        •   Not all courses are offered all of the time
        •   Some courses will be offered once every two years
        •   Some courses will be offered once every year
        •   Some courses will be offered each semester
        •   Some courses may not be offered/opened if there are less than
            10 students registered for the courses

             What you should do:
             • Regarding electives, discuss with your professor at your home
                   university, the elective courses you will need to take for
                   validation & alternatives & submit only once admitted
             • In this case, it is imperative that once selected, you submit
                   complete documents to IIT for an early decision well before
