Unlike some more technical majors or minors, ours does not require students to take courses spread over 4 years, and, while we prefer certain lower level courses to be taken relatively early on, and others to be taken later, there is substantial flexibility in the order in which a student could attend the courses offered by our program.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In this example, the student would take 6 credit hours per semester in PL (with the exception of the last semester) for a total of 33 credit hours. The student could take an additional 12 credit hours every fall and spring semester (12 credits X 6 semesters = 72 cr) in order to take care of core requirements etc. plus another 15 credit hours during two or three summers, for a total of 120 hours, the minimum required for graduation at Butler.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<\/div>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<figure
