FAQs
How
many credits do I need to take each semester to be a
full-time student?
12
credits
How
many credits do I need to take each semester in order
to finish in four years?
For
full-time students: 15 credits. In
order for a full-time student to finish the 122 credit
business degree (124 credits for Accounting) in four
years—without going to summer school--it’s
necessary to take 15 credits per semester. (This will
be slightly different for Accounting majors because
of having to take two 4-credit courses.) The two credits
in physical education (1 credit) and health (1 credit)
can be added to any semester.
The
122 -124 credits can also be completed as a full-time
student by taking 12 credits during both the fall and
spring semester with the remaining 6 credits picked
up in some combination of summer school and wintersession.
For
part-time students: It varies. Part-time students
put together a variety of credit-load programs depending
on their funds and personal schedules. A maximum of
11 credits can be taken in either the fall or spring
semester by a part-time student.
Can
I get my business degree as a part-time student? Yes.

For
transfer students
Students
transferring from Central, Eastern, or Western Connecticut
State University must follow the transfer admission
process. All credits that have been completed with a
passing grade are transferred to the University. Only
up to 90 credits are accepted from a four-year college.
Students
wishing to transfer from other accredited institutions
of higher learning must have a 2.0 cumulative average.
In addition, they should submit official transcripts
of their previous college work sent directly by the
previous college or university attended. Students should
also be prepared to provide catalogs from the colleges
they previously attended. Admission to the University
does not necessarily mean admission to a professional
program.
Students
from Connecticut
Regional Community Technical Colleges will be accepted
for admission to the University if they have a 2.0 cumulative
average. Students who meet this condition and who have
also completed the Associate in Arts degree or the Associate
in Science degree in transfer programs will be given
credit for two years of college work, but must satisfy
Southern’s University requirements.Students wishing
to transfer into SCSU from any of the following community
technical colleges should refer to the appropriate transfer
equivalency chart.
Additional
information describing non-traditional credit options

of Extended Learning.
