Do you have to take a course in college for year or semester?

It depends on the college or university and the specific program of study. Some colleges require students to take a certain number of courses each year or semester, while others allow students to take as many or as few courses as they want. Some programs of study have specific course requirements that students must take in order to complete the program, while other programs are more flexible and allow students to choose their own courses.

Generally speaking, most colleges and universities require students to take a minimum of 12-15 credit hours per semester in order to be considered a full-time student. However, some colleges may require students to take as many as 18-21 credit hours per semester in order to be considered full-time.

Ultimately, the best way to find out how many courses you need to take in college is to contact the admissions office of the college or university you are interested in attending.
