about transfer credits

<p>Hello, I am currently attending four year university in the east coast and majoring at electrical engineering. I have already taken 48 credits in my school. However, I have decided to change my major to architecture, but it is not offered in my school. Therefore, I have decided to transfer to another college. But I did not decide to transfer immediately from my current school. Instead, I have initially decided to attend community college and spend about one year and one more semester. However, I am concerned that whether the credits from my current four year unvierstiy would be added up to the credits that I have taken in community college. The reason I am worried is that if all the credits are added up, then wouldn't it be that I have taken too much credits to transfer?
Thank you</p>
