The semester credit hour is the unit of instruction at Creighton University. 

One credit hour is constituted by a minimum of one hour of classroom or direct instruction plus a minimum of two hours of out-of-class student work each week for a semester (or its equivalent).  Utilizing the Carnegie Unit, “one hour” of instruction or class work equals 50 minutes; a semester is defined as not less than 15 weeks. 

An equivalent amount of student work (minimum three hours per week for a semester of combined direct instruction and out-of-class student work) must be represented for a credit hour in other academic activities such as laboratories, internships, practica, studio work and other academic work.
