Hi, i work with a curriculum developing center. I would like to know HOW to calculate CREDIT HOURS for a program. Need help/sites. Thank you.

Here is one way to integrate credit hours into the amount of credit for participating in the whole program.

College of Arts and Sciences: Calculating your GPA

Thank you MkStfnz. I will look into it soon.

Are you wanting to know how to determine how many credit hours a particular class is worth? That is, should it be a 2 credit class or a 5 credit class?

As a professor in a local community college, credit hours are determined by the amount of time spent in class or lab. For example, if one teaches a three credit course at our (and most) colleges, students attend class twice a week for one and a quarter hours. That totals two and a half hours for a three credit course.

Some of our classes are considered four credits which adds another 50 minute period during the week...

So, credit hours are determined by the amount of time a student spends in the classroom or lab...

Hope this was helpful...
