How many courses is 12 credits at your school?

I'm taking the following courses next semester and they're all upper-level science courses with 3 credits each:

Applied Microbiology
Evolution
Animal Physiology
Ecological Parasitology

With the exception of Evolution, all have labs. Overall, these courses add to just 12 credits. I'm thinking that this is weird, since I believe other universities would count it higher than just 12 credits. And since med/dental schools like to see applicants with at least 15 credits I probably have to add one more course which I'm thinking an upper-level Georgraphy course (Urban Planning) that I'm really interested in.

welcome to a science major. yep, thats typical. My ochem lab (separate from ochem 1 and 2) was 2 credits for 8 hours of lab. no, ur school isnt out to ring ur balls, thats part of the reason that many ppl dont take 4 science courses at a time. dont take another science, take an english, u needta talk good two.
