How many months is one semester?

Answer 1

Each semester is about 4 months, usually from mid-January to mid-May, and also from mid-August to mid-December. So both semesters together are about eight months, plus three months for summer vacation, and about a month for winter vacation adds up to twelve months.

Answer 3

For colleges and universities that operate on a regular two semester academic year, a semester generally runs anywhere from 14 to 16 weeks depending on the institution. Thus, the Fall semester usually starts in early September, and finishes around December 23rd, or 24th. The Spring semester starts about mid January and ends around May 15th. Again, it depends on the institution. Students - while not required - can take advantage of summer and interim sessions. Summer sessions are typically five to six weeks, while interim sessions can take as little as three weeks.

Answer 4

Usually 8 semesters (4 years with 2 semesters each year). However, graduation requirements are not based on semesters but on credit hours. In other words, you get a certain number of credits or credit hours for completing a course, and you need to accumulate a certain total number of credit hours in order to graduate. Because graduation is based on completion of credit hours (not semesters), some people who take more than the average course load can graduate in less time (7 or even 6 semesters instead of 8). Another way to graduate in less time is to take lots of AP courses in high school, which you receive college credit for, or to takes courses over the summer. For the specific credit requirements, check the website of the college you wish to attend.
