<p>Depends. Most classes are 3 units. Meaning a 3 credit course which meets two times a week for a total of 3 hours. Classes such as Calculus, Biology, Chemistry, and Physics tend to carry 4 units.</p>
<p>Generally, accumulating 60 semester units takes 2 years. Therefore, when you transfer you will be entering as a Junior. Some people load up. I’ve heard of people taking 30+ units in a semester. That seems a bit too much. </p>
<p>I would go with 4-5 classes a semester. That will range from 14-17 credits. Currently, I’m taking 5 classes which adds up to 16 credits. Next semester, another 5 classes which will add up to 17 credits. Also take advantage of summer and winter intersessions if possible.</p>
