College Answers   (answers to questions above)

         1.  A credit hour is a unit of measurement.  Most college semesters last 16 weeks.  If a  
              student has to attend one hour of class each week, he is taking a one credit hour course. 
              Most courses consist of 3 credit hours.

         2.  Yes, a semester hour is the same as a credit hour.

         3.  A four year degree requires a minimum of 120 credit hours.

         4.  No.  Most colleges will only accept credits if:  1) your grade is C or above, 2) the credits are
              from an accredited college, or 3) the class pertains to their program or can be applied as
              an elective to their program.

        5.  A graduate school is the school (college, university) you attend after you graduate with a
             four year college degree.  After obtaining a Bachelor's degree (4 year degree), some
             people go on to earn their Master's degree which is usually 1-2 years more of school.
