9 months is 3 quarters. A dedicated student could easily fit 12 courses into that. 12 courses is the bulk of a CS degree (barring a few electives). See for exam

  Forgetting the fact that most schools aren't on quarters, the 12 courses all have prerequisites for a reason. You can't just take them all at the same time. Even if you could take them all at the same time, maybe 2 or 3% of students would have been capable of completing those courses in that time frame at my University. You're also cutting out 5 classes because they are called electives. In most programs electives are structured so that you're going to get exposure to certain topics no matter which electives you take, so randomly cutting out 5 classes just because there is some choice doesn't make sense.
