180 credits is how many hours?

Answer 1

It depends on how you are defining hours. For colleges and universities that operate on a regular two semester academic year, each credit is equivalent to 16 hours of class contact time for the semester. If the course is a three credit course, then it would be a total of 48 hours of actual classroom time for the semester. Thus, 180 credits would equal 2880 total hours. However, if the school operates on a quarter hour system, then 180 quarter hours is equivalent to 120 semester hours (1 quarter hour equals 0.67 semester hours).

Answer 2

It's not that simple. The number of credits a course is assigned varies according to the specific course. In other words, a course can range between 1 to 4, or higher in credits. Each credit is considered one hour of class contact time. Typically, most colleges and universities assign 3 credits for general education courses, however exact science courses, and major courses (to include math) can be 4 credits plus.
