The study hours calculator estimates recommended study time based on the common rule of 2-3 hours of study per credit hour per week. This helps students plan realistic schedules and manage their time effectively.
Enter your credit hours and the study hours per credit you want to commit (2 is standard, 3 for more challenging courses). The calculator shows weekly study hours, total time commitment including class, and daily study hours.
This helps students understand the real time commitment of college, plan work schedules, and set realistic course loads. It's particularly useful for incoming freshmen or students balancing school with employment.
