Quarter credit hours represent proportionately less work than semester hours due to the shorter terms, about two-thirds of a semester credit hour. Thus, a bachelorâs degree at an institution on the quarter calendar may require a minimum of 180 quarter hours, which compares to 120 semester hours.

This is different for labs though where 1 semester hour = 3 hours in lab per week for a semester. I'd think an internship is closer to a lab than an academic class so it'd be 1 semester hour = 3 contact hours or 3 semester hours = 9 contact hours.
