I don’t know about science majors, but the science classes I took at the university level had a one hour lecture section (really 50 minutes, but it was always called “one hour”) three days a week, as well as a lab section that met for two hours on a fourth day (sometimes the same day as one of the lectures, sometimes not). The lab section caused these to be worth one more credit than most other courses.
