8 quarter hours is equivalent to 5.33 semester hours.
what are quarter credit hours Quarter hours are offered at Colleges and Universities that are on A "Quarter Term System" rather than a "Semester" System.. Pure Quarter system has 4 college Terms per year.. or some colleges offer Trimesters or 3 terms per year and offer Quarter credits... 1 semester hour equals 2/3 of a Quarter hour or typically a 60-64 semester hour associates degree would be equal to a 90-96 quarter hour associates degree. Typically a Quarter term is 12 weeks and there are 4 Terms in the year.
A credit hour is a semester hour; it is also a quarter hour. It really depends on the credit structure of your particular school. The real question is: What's the difference between a semester hour and a quarter hour. Quarter hour credits are 1.5 times the hours in the semester system. The real question is: Why are they called hours?
It depends if the college or university operates on a semester, tri-semester, or quarter semester system. For institutions that operate on a regular semester system 191 contact hours is close to 12 credits. One credit equals 16 hour of class contact time.

It's usually not a state-by-state sort of requirement. Rather, it's a requirement set forth by the school's "regional" accreditor. A typical two-year (if pursued full-time) assocates degree contains sixty (60) semester credit hours (if the school's on the "semester credit hour" system), or 90 quarter credits (if the school's on the "quarter credit" system). Most schools in the US are on the "semester credit hour" system, but some are on the "quarter credit" system. It all just depends on the school.
There are 12 quarter hours in 3 hours, since there are 4 quarter hours in an hour.
Answer 1: At most regionally-accredited schools in the United States (US), an associates degree -- designated as "Associate of Arts" (AA), or "Associate of Science" (AS) -- consists of sixty (60) "semester credit hours" (if the school is on the "semester credit hour" system), or ninety (90) "quarter credits" (if the school is on the "quarter credit" system), either of which may be completed in two (2) years of full-time study.At most US regionally-accredited schools, "full-time" study means either 30 semester credit hours (if the school's on that system), or 45 quarter credits (if the school's on that system) per year... accomplished either during the normal semesters or quarters, or during those plus summer sessions.A small number of schools require a tiny bit more credits for an associates. Some (again, a small number) of schools on the semester credit hour system require 66 semester credit hours of study in order to earn one of their associates degrees; and an even smaller number of schools on the quarter credit system require as many as 94 to 98 quarter credits in order to earn one of their associates degrees. But, again, such schools are in the minority. At most US regionally-accredited schools, either 60 semester credit hours (if that's the system the school is on), or 90 quarter credits (if that's the system the school is on) will earn an associates degree.Most US regionally-accredited schools, just FYI, are on the semester credit hour system.
There are three quarter-hours in 45 minutes.
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).
a quarter of an hour is 15 minutes
15 minutes (a quarter of an hour)In decimal .25 is one quarter. A quarter of an hour is 15 minutes. So in 3.25 hours, the .25 means 15 minutes.
