Equivalency Standards of The American
Federation of Christian Colleges and Schools
The following guidelines have been
established after conferring with various
institutions of higher education concerning
a valid conversion of conventional class
lecture hours into required reading for
credit in a traditional or non-traditional
program of education.
Three (3) credit hours of study are equal to
one (1) fifty (50) minute lecture, three (3)
times a week, for fifteen (15) weeks
Fifteen (15) pages of reading equals one (1)
class lecture [at the undergraduate level of
study]. A three credit hour course would
require six-hundred and seventy-five (675)
pages of reading at the undergraduate level
of study if the course is an independent
study or completed by correspondence. This
reading requirement must include a written
project or a final exam. Twenty-five (25)
pages of reading equals one (1) lecture at
the graduate level of study. A three (3)
credit hour course would require one
thousand one-hundred and twenty-five (1,125)
pages of reading. This reading requirement
must include a written project or a final
exam. One (1) credit hour per
[five-thousand] 5,000 words can be awarded
for a thesis or dissertation. Institutions
may use a combination of the above methods
in order to achieve the minimum quantity
standard for quality education. The purpose
of this requirement is to ensure that a
student receives a certain quantity of
education which will lead to a quality
education.
