All courses carry 4.5-quarter credits. One quarter credit hour requires, at a minimum, 10 hours of classroom instruction, 20 hours of laboratory/project assignment, or 30 hours of practicum/internship. Thus each course is 45 hours of classroom instruction, 90 hours of laboratory/project assignment, or 135 hours of practicum/internship. An hour means an instructional time of at least 50 minutes of directed instruction. Many courses at Clarewood University are a mixture of classroom instruction and participative laboratory instruction. Experiential and integrative activities are reflected in projects, practicums or internships.
