In English, "学分" is typically translated as "credit" or "credits". This term comes from the Latin word "credere", which means "to believe or trust". In an educational context, "credit" refers to the recognition given to a student for successfully completing a course or achieving a certain level of achievement in a subject.

Here are some examples of "credit" in English, with their Chinese translations:

I need to take 12 credits to complete my degree. (我需要修完12学分才能拿到学位。)

This course is worth 3 credits. (这门课程有3学分。)

I earned enough credits to graduate. (我获得了足够的学分毕业。)
