I see Bellevue University degrees are based on semester credit hours and other universities (typically community colleges) use quarter credit hours. Is there a difference – and, if so, what is the difference?
This is an important question because without understanding the difference between semester credit hours and quarter credit hours, it's difficult to compare tuition rates among universities.
Generally, one semester credit hour is equal to 1.5 quarter credit hours. So one course at Bellevue University is typically 3 semester credit hours, and an equivalent course at a university with quarter credit hours would be 4.5 quarter credit hours. (That's why a full bachelor's degree requires more credit hours at quarter-hour institutions.)
It affects the price you pay, too. If both universities charge $100 per credit hour, a 3-semester credit hour course would cost $300, but the same course at a quarter-hour university would cost $450.
I've read a lot lately about "for-profit universities." What is the difference between for-profit universities and non-profit universities? And which is Bellevue University?
Bellevue University is a non-profit, private university. For-profit universities are responsible to their shareholders to generate a profit from the tuition they charge and the services they provide. Non-profit universities are responsible to their boards of directors for achieving their mission of educating learners.
