Robert’s Answer

Great question. Many prospective students as did I have had exactly the same desire to understand what exactly a " credit hour is. Basically a " credit hour" is how many hours a student will attend a particular class, lab, or lecture in a week at a university or college for a semester. For example if you attended a Biology class on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday from 9:00 AM to 10:00 AM weekly, from the start and to the end of the semester you attended class in a week. You would be awarded 3 credit hours for that class for that particular semester.
