Credit Hours
The unit by which Eastern measures its coursework is called a credit hour. The College assigns one credit hour to a class that meets the equivalent of one class-hour per week during the semester. Courses offered during a term are assigned a credit value related to the number of class- hours involved in the course, typically from one to four credits. Some courses require time for laboratory work in addition to the time required for lecture. In general, laboratory sessions meet for two contact hours each week of the term for each credit hour awarded. Students should expect to spend at least two or more hours per week in out-of-class course work for each credit hour.
