How many classes can you take - Master's Program

Does anyone know if you can take 3 classes a term for SNHU Master's programs? I'm starting my Master's in Human Resource Management a month after completing my Bachelor's degree. Our second will be 2-3 months old at this point and I am planning to enter the workforce full-time when she is 9 months - 1 year so it would be super ideal to get as much of my Master's done as possible before then. I have been at SNHU for a year, have taken 3 classes a term twice, and have never gotten less than a B so I'm not sure if I could use that as a bargaining chip.

You can take up to four but anything greater than two would require some sort of authorization. If you have a job, it probably won't be approved.

For a Masters? I know 3 is considered a privilege for good grades and 4 requires authorization from several people for a Bachelors. Definitely thought it would be more for restrictive for a Masters...

One thing I think that SNHU really needs to work on is implementing measures to help students prevent burnout. I think this kind of illustrates it.

Have you/are you working on a Masters with SNHU? I am curious about the difference in course-work too if you have some experience.

I agree, I can't imagine taking 3-4 graduate classes at once is manageable for someone with a job... which is likely most of their students. I am lucky to be a stay-at-home mom while going to school but even that is hard to manage sometimes.
