<p>Hey guys, I've done 2 semesters from a foreign uni but I've decided I wanna study here instead (for career reasons)</p>
<p>Now, I'm starting a CC in hope of getting 44 credit hours and transferring to an NC university.</p>
<p>My primary targets are NC state and UNC computer science programs.</p>
<p>I'm currently taking admission in Durham tech community college for fall.</p>
<p>Apporximately how much time will it take for me to get 44 credit hours? Should I get the 66(forgot exact number) credits instead?</p>
<p>If I have a cgpa of 3.5 + by the end how good are my chances to transfer to NC state or UNC?</p>
<p>Please help me out.</p>
<p>

<p>The minimum number of credits per semester to be considered a full time student is 12. On average, full time students take 15 or 16 credits per semester. 18 credits would be considered a heavy load. </p>
<p>Of course all of this also varies somewhat with which classes you take and how the specific school counts credits. For instance, my kid attends a college that doesn’t give extra credits for classes with labs. So taking Organic Chem + lab counts as the same number of credits as Intro to Sociology.</p>
<p>An average course load at my CC is around 15-16 credits. However, last semester I took 18, and this fall I’m taking 21. Part of those 21 credits comes from the fact that my physics and chemistry classes are both going to be 5 credits each because of lab components. </p>
<p>Even if you figure 15 credits per semester, it shouldn’t take more than 3 semesters to accumulate 44 credits. You may be better off going for the associates though. With a few summer classes, it shouldn’t take more than 4 semesters, even at 15 credits per semester(fall and spring), with 3-6 in the summer.</p>
<p>So you think by fall 2015 I could have an associate? that is if I take summer courses as well. Which I should</p>
