<p>I'm a freshman in college but I want to transfer to a different school in the fall and feel that it's a waste of time to stay here another semester when I know I'm transfering anyway. I was just wondering if there were any half semester gap year programs where I could still earn credits that would give me a full year of credits so that I would be able to come in as a sophomore next year.</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure if you want to earn credit you are going to have to go to a CC in the Spring or stick to the college you are at and just finish out the year.</p>
<p>you could be a visiting student at another college for a semester. other than that, i don’t think any programs will offer you credit.</p>
<p>Both of the people above me are wrong.</p>
<p>I am doing this now actually but It is with the Seamester program.
Also you can do it with National Outdoor Leadership school.
They have tuition fees but it is a 16 credit semester and much much cheaper then college semester tuition.</p>
<p>Here are the websites.
[Sea|mester</a> - Global semester at sea programs for college students with Marine Biology & Oceanography](<a href=“http://www.seamester.com/index.php?source=google&gclid=CM_o-ZSM3p4CFVw55QodnTEAKg]Sea|mester”>Sea|mester | Spend your college semester at sea and sail the globe)</p>
<p>and </p>
<p>[NOLS</a> - National Outdoor Leadership School](<a href=“http://www.nols.edu/]NOLS”>http://www.nols.edu/)</p>
<p>These are outdoor schools but there is ALOT out there for you. Try googling alternative education college semester. </p>
<p>and best of luck.</p>
