Variable number of credit hours offered for 8000-9000 level course may mean the total course content is equivalent to variable credit hours instruction or that the course is offered in 1, 2 or 3 units approximately 15 hours equivalent each. In the latter case, a student may elect to take less than the total units offered during that semester. Each credit hour is approximately equivalent to 1 hour instruction per week per semester.
