Student Academic Load Expectation

The average student workload for one credit hour would be one clock hour of direct teacher interaction plus two clock hours of outside work related to the course. At Presentation College, a 15-credit semester schedule would require an average commitment of 45 hours per week for 15 weeks. This definition is consistent with the U.S. Department of Education's expectation. Laboratory courses, clinicals, practicums and internships vary in expectations and are outlined in the course syllabus.
