<p class="ydp228f69a0yiv9461858293MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;">I did my MLIS while I was still teaching English. I found that depending on the class itself that I could take 6-9 credit hours. Some classes were more time
intensive with a lot of reading, so those semesters I only took 6 hours. And, of course, you probably have times of the year that are more time restrictive for yourself, so take that into consideration also.</span></p>
