ACADEMIC INTEGRITY & QUALITY

Credit Accumulation & Standards

We are required to maintain accreditation standards and to utilize credit hours as a measurement.

Credit hours are calculated as 1 credit hour equals 10 hours of actual working time. Credit hours encompass all time (formal classes, self-study, reading, researching, writing assignments, etc.) spent by students in completing their studies.

The actual time which students need to successfully complete their studies varies considerably. Therefore, credit hours are not a precise measurement but provide students with an indication of the study time required for successful completion and the degree of commitment expected.

Credit hours are based on how long it would take an average full-time student entering a university and studying that subject for the first time to gain the required knowledge and understanding.

It is assumed that an “average” student will require 120 credit hours, or 1,200 hours of actual time, to complete a bachelor’s degree based on international academic standards.
