    What is the conversion of quarter hours to semester hours?

    E.g. 3 quarter hours = 2 semester hours

    On a related note, Northeastern University in Boston is switching from quarter to semester hours in the 2003 academic year. They give the main reason as compatibility with other schools.

    CSU has 4.5 quarter hours per course -- which equals 3 semester hours. Makes transfering courses easier.
