DEFINITION OF UNIT OF CREDIT :

The unit of credit in the college is the quarter hour. The minimum requirement for one credit hour is ten clock hours of classroom lecture, 20 hours of laboratory or 30 hours of internship/externship experience.

To convert semester hours to quarter hours, semester hours are multiplied by 1 1/2. Quarter hours can be changed to semester hours by multiplying by 2/3. For example, 60 quarter hours are the equivalent of 40 semester hours. Laboratory classes are given one half value of lecture classes.
