Units, Credits, Courses...Oh My!

Course Registration is underway this semester as underclassmen prepare for the fall 2009 Academic Year. During this time, many students and faculty are using words such as ‘unit’ and ‘credit’. Albright uses a course unit system as opposed to a course credit system that can be found at many large and state universities. This system is not often discussed around campus yet many members of the Albright community possess varying opinions on the issue. Albright Registrar, Dave Ballaban, and Professor of English, Dr. Richard Androne, provide commentary on this issue and a student perspective is provided by Freshmen Becky Kinkead and Stephanie Babson as well as Seniors Frantz Armand and Chelsey Gross.

For more information on the course unit system used by Albright or the credit system used at other schools you can e-mail Albright’s Resistrar, Dave Ballaban, at dballaban@alb.edu, or visit the Registrar’s office Monday through Friday.
