Credit Hour Equivalency

Credit hours equate to the amount of instruction time assigned to a class. The amount of time allotted per credit varies for theory, lab, and clinical courses. (See the table below). The total instructional hours for a course are distributed across the semester or session. In addition to instruction time, students should anticipate spending a minimum of 30 hours per credit of out of classroom preparation and study over the course duration.
