What typically is the least amount of credit hours a university will accept from a college for transfer.?

I am starting off at a community college, but I want to transfer to a 4-year institution soon. I know generally people receive their Associates degree before moving on. But in my situation I would like to leave the college as soon as I can. Possibly take 3 semesters and apply for transfer. Does anyone think this is possible?|||Well, people do not necessarily get an AA to transfer. To a State University in California, you need 60 units to transfer from a regionally accredited institution.

However, most private universities will accept a minimum of 24-28 credits to transfer. Meaning you need 60, it may vary by state. However, this is most of the General Ed. Classes that are on the list to transfer.

Although, some people do get their AA in "Child Development" and then get their BS in "Human Relations". Students do this, but not everyone has a major set which is why they do their general studies so they can jump in to their lower division "major specifics".



Now, you might get it done in 3 semesters. You have to be full time meaning 9-12 units per semester. Which is likely to be 4 or 5 classes each semester. And you may earn up to 36-45 units which may be good for a private institution.





Your major consists of a lower division and upper, if you do your lower division major classes at a Community College, then you can transfer with your upper division which can save you a lot of money and time at the University. (Considering you have your GE's done.)
