We use a credit system to measure the academic workload of each course.

Generally, one credit equates to 16 hours of work, including class time, individual study, assignments, and projects.
The total number of credits required to obtain a bachelor's degree varies depending on the major and program of study. Credits accumulate as students successfully complete courses. Courses are of three types: required, complementary, and elective. This diverse range of offerings allows students to personalize their study plan according to their interests and academic goals.
This system also facilitates student mobility, since credits obtained at ITESO can be recognized by other national and international educational institutions, allowing you to participate in exchange programs and broaden your learning experiences in different contexts.
