Flexible Credit Hour System
Flexible Credit Hour System
At US Meta Arees International University, we adopt the Credit Hours System, a globally recognized academic structure widely used by leading American universities. This system offers students flexibility in selecting courses and organizing their academic journey based on their interests and professional goals.
What is the Credit Hours System
The credit hours system divides academic programs into a series of courses, each assigned a specific number of credit hours. Graduation is based on the total number of successfully completed credit hours. This system offers flexibility in:
- Selecting courses each semester
- Progressing at the student’s own pace
- Studying on a full-time or part-time basis
Academic Program Structure
- Duration of Study: 3 to 4 years depending on the program and college
- Required Credit Hours for Graduation: Approximately 120 to 140 credit hours
- Language of Instruction: English, with academic support available for Arabic-speaking students
- Assessment Method: Based on cumulative evaluation (exams, projects, assignments, interactive participation)
