One unit of credit represents a total of three hours per week of in-class and out-of-class work (Carnegie Unit of Credit). For traditional delivery methodologies, one unit of academic credit equals: 1 hour of lecture/seminar and 2 hours of study per week, or 2 hours of laboratory/studio activities and 1 hour of study per week.
