美国大学的学制分两种, semester制和quarter制
semester是指一年有三个学期,一般是fall, spring, summer, 一半来说留学生只要一年上完fall和spring就可以了
quarter是指一年有四个学期,一般是Autumn,winter,spring,summer, 一半来说留学生只要一年上完Autumn,winter,spring就可以了 (一个quarter差不多是10 周,外加一个final week)
不管是哪一种都是学分制,semester的学校给semester credit 一般好想是120学分毕业(我是quarter制学校的所以不大清楚), quarter制学校给quarter credit 一般180学分毕业。 正常1semester学分相当于1.5quarter credit。 关于quarter credit和semester credit之间的转换,我们学校官网是这么说的:
Colleges and universities that operate on a semester system award semester credit. The UW awards quarter credit. To convert semester to quarter credits, multiply by 1.5. For example, a student who earns 30 credits in an institution on a semester calendar would have earned 45 quarter credits at the UW.

一个quarter credit代表什么呢,看我们学校给的解释:

The basic rule for determining academic credit is 1 credit represents a total student time commitment of 3 hours each week in a 10-week quarter, or a total of 30 hours in a quarter. Total time includes time spent in class, if any; time devoted to individual conference with instructors; time devoted to reading or other study, problem solving, writing, laboratory work, exercises, or any other activity required of the student.
一个学分表示 一周学习3小时, 一个quarter 10周,也就是注册一个学分原则上要学习30小时一学期。这30个小时包括上课时间,个人找老师问问题的时间还有作业之类的, 这30小时只是一个大概数字,因人而异

对了quarter制的学校,要求国际生一学期至少注册12quarter的课
