The American university system is built around a system of credit hours. A credit hour is a basic unit of work: each credit hour represents approximately 40 hours of work, including readings, lectures, assignments and assessment.

A standard class is typically equivalent to 3 credit hours.

      • For a 3-credit hour class taught over an 8-week session, you should factor in 120 hours of total work, which is approximately 15 hours per week.
      • If you enroll in two classes per session (totaling 6 credit hours), which is a standard full-time load, you can expect 240 hours of work or 30 hours of study time per week.

An undergraduate bachelor’s degree is equivalent to about 120 credit hours. Full-time study, taking 30 credit hours per year, will allow you to complete your studies in 4 years.

However, you have the option of taking fewer classes per session/semester. While this enables you to spread out the workload and cost, it will also extend the total time of study. Please bear this in mind when planning your course of study.
