About Credits and Semesters

  • 1 credit = 1 class hour per week
  • Part time enrollment = 6-11 credits per semester
  • Full time enrollment = 12+ credits per semester (15 credits is recommended)
  • For each hour in class, plan on 2 hours of study outside class

Example: For an Associate of Arts degree (60+ credits), if you take 15 credits each semester, you will complete the degree in 4-5 semesters.

15 credits = 15 class hours per week + 30 hours of study outside of class.
