Luckymama Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 We have noticed this variation in college language class credit: 3 credits: most classes at most universities, meeting MWF or TTh 4 credits: the first 2 or 3 classes in the sequence, meeting 4 times a week with the 4th more of a recitation section, even though the "lecture" has less than 20 students 5 credits: intensive classes that cover 2 semesters' worth in one semester, meeting MTWThF 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-rap Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Our experience is the same as Matryoshka's. Most classes are 3 credit our classes. Classes which meet more than MWF or TH are usually 4, like a science with a lab. The only 5 hr classes we have seen are science classes which have a recitation class in addition to lectures and labs. Quarter system schools vs semester schools are where I have seen the higher # for credit hrs. I have never looked, but I would assume that more than your typical 120 hrs is therefore required for a degree. 128 credits minimum is required here.
