difference between 60 and 80 credits?

[swaffles]

Hi!

I'm a little confused about the difference between 60 credits and 80 credits. Are they both two year programs? I know that 40 credits is usually for a one year program.

Can someone explain it to me, please?

Thank you!

This seems to depend on how each school defines a credit. At Hopkins, the MPH is an 11 month course of study, and it is 80 credits. There are five 8-week terms, with an average of 16 credits per term.

I see! Thank you. I'm going to try calling the universities to see what they mean according to their process. It's so annoying that it's not uniform!
