How many credits do American universities need?
120 credits.

In developed countries, such as the United States, undergraduates must complete at least 120 credits, with an average of 30 credits per year. General schools have regulations that the scores of elective courses are not less than 9 credits per semester. Mathematics and physics have high scores, but subjects with high scores are also difficult to take. As a new international student, the general level of English language and culture is not high, so it is not easy to get good grades with high marks.

Once the GPA is not up to standard, it will affect the scholarship for the next academic year, and even affect the future study or employment, and once the course fails, it is necessary to retake the exam.

This requires China students to choose one or two subjects with high scores and several subjects with low scores according to their own conditions and abilities. The effective combination of high and low marks is the basis of excellent grades. Generally speaking, elective courses will be published online before the start of school, so you should make a choice as soon as possible.

It also takes 30 credits to transfer.

The application process for undergraduate transfer is basically the same as that for freshman. The difference is that most schools do not require SAT, and some schools stipulate that before entering a new school, they need to complete more than 30 credits or more than 60 credits to avoid SAT.

Moreover, there are many materials to be provided for undergraduate transfer, and there are many factors to be considered when choosing a school. In addition to providing the materials needed for freshman admission, you also need the transcripts of your college years and the recommendation letters from professors (some schools also need to provide course descriptions).
