In order to get into a program within my major I need to raise my GPA from a 2.5 to 3.0 and I want to know if that is possible and within two semesters.

It depends on the max GPA for each class and the number of credits you take. The first step is to figure out what GPA you need to get in the next 2 semesters get a 3.0 overall. Then you can see what your schools max GPA is and see if its possible.
To figure out what you would need to get, take the number of credit hours you have previously taken and divide them by the total number you will have taken at the end of the two semesters. This gives you the weighting factor for your current GPA. Then take the number of credit hours you plan on taking and divide them by the total number to get the weighting factor for your unknown GPA.
Its actually simpler than I'm making it sound. Take a look at this example.
Let's assume so far that you have taken 4 semesters worth of classes, 15 credits each semester (60 credit hours to date). In the next 2 semesters you also plan on taking 15 credits each semester (30 credits). The total is 90 credits. Therefore, you have (60/90) of your GPA at 2.5. You have (30/90) of you GPA at X.
You want you GPA at 90 credit hours to be 3.0, so solve for X.
(60/90)*2.5 + (30/90)*X = 3.0
In this case, X=4.0, so you would need a 4.0 over the next two semesters to get a 3.0. You can plug in your actual numbers and figure out what you will need to get.

A = 4, B = 3, C = 2, D = 1, F = 0. Total up all your classes that you have credit for, and divide it by the total. Example: I have 4 A's, 3 B's and a C. So that's 27 points. Then you divide that by 8, because that's how many grades I have, which is about 3.4.

It is possible, but you will have to check on how many credits you already have. If you make a 4.0 for two consecutive semester's the review board will look more favorable on your application.
If you only have 10 credits, then it should be no probem, but if you have 180 credits then it will be very difficult to raise your GPA that much in two semesters.

First you subtract your math grades, then you divide by your total credit hours, then you have a nice day. Just kidding.
Assuming you are a beginning sophomore, and have one year's credit at 2.5, you need to pull a 3.5 gpa this year. I don't know what the weighted scale is, but if the 2.5 is already weighted, then you need to earn a weighted 3.5 this year.

Average all the grades and divide it by 4.0
Algebra 95
English 100
History 95
95 + 100 + 95 = 290 ; 290 divided by 3 is 96.6 or 97
and 97 divided by 4.0
