What Are Credit Hours?


Credit hours represent the weight of a course in your academic program.


How Credits Are Assigned

  • **3 credit course** = 3 hours/week (standard lecture)
  • **4 credit course** = 3 hours lecture + 1 hour lab

    • Why Credits Matter for GPA


    Your GPA is a **weighted average**. Higher credit courses have more impact.


    **Example:** An A in a 4-credit Physics course helps 4× more than a 1-credit seminar!


    Credit Requirements by Degree

  • Bachelor's (India): 120-160 credits
  • Bachelor's (USA): 120-130 credits
