How long is a credit hour?

Answer 1

For colleges and universities that operate on a regular semester system. One credit requires 16 hours of class contact time for the semester. This is typically broken down into one hour per week. Thus, a three credit course would require 48 hours of class contact time for the semester and usually broken down into three hours per week. A full-time student must enroll for a minimum of 12 credits per semester (12 hours of class contact time per week for the semester). The average student load is 15 credits per semester.

Answer 2

Basically, you get one credit (hour) for every 50 minutes in class.

So if a class is 3 credit hours and meets 3 times a week (normally MWF), that's pretty much 1 hr each day and if it is 3 credit hours and meets 2 times a week (normally Tues/Thurs), that's 1.5 hrs per day.

Answer 3

For a college or university that operates on a regular two semester academic year, one credit is equivalent to one hour, referred to as a credit-hour. If a course is three credits, that means the student is required to have three hours of class contact time per week. How the time is scheduled is up to the institution.
