I have done my bachelors degree in computer technology. This was a 3 year course and had totally 40 courses. I wanted to do my masters so I got my degree evaluated through an agency. They awarded 2.5 credits for each course and my degree was evaluated to 100 credits. I am wondering how these credits are granted for each course? I had to take each course for 4-5 hours a week for one semester (6 months). There were also two labs for each semester. Can anybody throw some information on this? I wanted to enter into do a master degree with my bachelors , I would like to know if my bachelors degree would be equivalent to any US bachelors degree. thanks -suresh
What university issued your bachelors? Who evaluated your degree for credit? Where do you intend to get a masters from? Normally a US Bachelors=120 credits (Semester hours). In the US each Credit seems to mean about 15 hours of classroom time (plus individual reading and assignments outside of class), therefore a typical 3 credit class would equate to about 45 hours of time in class. Although, the number of hours varies by institution and major. Hope this helps, Jeff Welch
