qtr hours vs semester hrs - nj593 - 01-07-2010
ok as many of you know I have been seeking out options for grad school.
I see Walden offers a Cacrep accreditation program for counseling that seems good but it requires 95â102 total quarter credits. Where if i went to a b&m school it would be 60 semester hours.
When I went to UOP they attempted to explain the difference but when all said and done the only difference i noticed was that i did 8 weeks over the normal 12 week sessions at a b&m.
Now can anyone explain is there a real difference in time that i should be concerned about with the numbers presented by Walden for their program?
Or does it turn out to be the same amount of time as a b&m?
I would prefer a MSW program or something but LPC programs seem to be the only online thing.
thanks
