Well, honey, if we're talking about a typical college program where each semester credit hour equals one academic year, then 42 semester credit hours would be equivalent to about 3 and a half years. But hey, don't forget about summer school or overloading your schedule - you could shave off some time if you're feeling ambitious.

42 credits is can typically completed in three semesters without pushing it. If your starting in the fall, it can be completed in two semesters and the summer session depending if the school offers two summer sessions. However, be careful not to overload yourself in an effort to finish sooner. Some individuals that push too hard wind up sacrificing their grade point average (GPA), or wind up either dropping out, or failing out. Sometimes your better off relaxing and completing courses at a reasonable rate gaining more of a solid education and a stronger GPA.

Can an associate's degree course take less than two years to complete?

By taking 15 to 18 semester credit hours per semester, plus 6 to 9 semester credit hours over the summer, you could graduate with an associates degree in less than two years. But the more you take per semester or summer session, the harder it is. Taking 18 semester credit hours per semester, plus any more than six semester credit hour per summer, can, for many students, mean pretty much no social life... just work, work, work... and sleep, of course. I don't recommend it!Figure it like this: An associates degree contains 60 semester credit hours. Most people take 15 semester credit hours per semester, then take the summers off, and by doing that, you graduate in two years......however, if you take 18 semester credit hours (one extra course) per semester, then that, right there, will leave you with just two courses left to take by mid-way through the second year. If you take those two courses during the summer sessions, then you could graduate with 60 semester credit hours in just a year and a half.The goal is to hit 60 semester credit hours (at three semester credit hours per course... so, then, in other words 20 courses for the entire associates degree) however fast you can. But, honestly, it starts to become really hard to do it in much less than a year-and-a-half.

How many actual hours does 32 semester credits convert to?

Typically, for colleges that operate on a regular two semester academic year, one credit equals one credit hour. Therefore, 32 credits is actually 32 semester hours. In most places, a class meets two or three times a week, for a total of 3 contact hours a week, usually for 12 weeks, representing 36 hours of class time for 3 credit hours. And it is typically believed that two hours of study for every hour of class time is necessary. So 32 credit hours would equal 1152 hours of class time and over 2300 hours of study. Note that 12 credit hours a semester is full time.
