<p>To graduate from CAS, one is required to take 100 credits in the College of Arts and Sciences. However, if one were to transfer in as a junior, how could one possibly fulfill this requirement? </p>

<p>4 semesters * 15 CAS credits = 60 credits. Even if you overloaded and did 18 CAS credits a semester, you would still only have 72 CAS credits.</p>

<p>Despite this, there are junior transfers to CAS pretty regularly. Does the administration cut down on the number of required CAS credits for transfer students?</p>

<p>The classes you took at your old school count towards the 100 credit requirement. So you’ll probably come in with 40-60 of those 100 credits (you can only transfer in 60 maximum) already met.</p>

<p>They obviously don’t expect people to finish 100 credits in 4 semesters.</p>
