Hey guys! I'm trying to calculate how long it would take to earn 60 college credits. Can anyone give me an estimate or share their personal experience on how long it took them?

Hello! The time it takes to earn 60 college credits can vary depending on several factors such as course load, college schedule, and whether or not you're taking courses over the summer or winter breaks. In a traditional college setting, full-time students typically take 12-18 credit hours per semester.
If you take 15 credits per semester, which is considered the average course load, you could complete 60 credits in just two years (or four semesters) of full-time study. If you take 12 credits per semester, it would take you five semesters or about 2.5 years to complete 60 credits. If you want to speed up the process, you can also consider taking courses during summer or winter breaks, which can help you accumulate credits faster.
Keep in mind, these time frames are estimates and may not perfectly align with your personal situation or pace. Don't forget to account for possible course prerequisites, degree requirements, and your own workload capacity when determining how long it might take you to accumulate 60 college credits.
