difference between ECTS credits and typical U.S. university credits is that anECTS credit includes not only lecture and laboratory times but also individual out-of-class workand exam times. According to the current ECTS system a 15 weeks semester of higher educationcorresponds to approximately 30 credits.As a beginning comparison between U.S. and European systems (2), “Regarding undergraduatedegrees, there is a clear trend across Europe toward assigning between 180 and 240 ECTScredits, equaling 3 to 4 years of full-time study, while graduate degrees at Master level normallycarry 60-120 ECTS credits”.This paper will discuss some of the variations in both courses and degrees, including the three-year bachelor degree.
