<p>4 credit hour classes generally meet longer and cover more material than 3 credit classes.</p>

<p>The 4 credit non-science classes that I took at Rochester either met on MWF for 2.5 hours of classroom time or on Tues/Thurs for 2.5 hours of classroom time. Additionally, almost all courses have a “workshop” once a week which takes up another hour or more. At these workshops, you will delve into group discussions / work on assignments / go over crucial material.</p>
<p>Can anyone else chime in? </p>
<p>4 credit classes are certainly the “norm” at UR.</p>
