In the USA, if you are attending a college that uses the semester system, 12 hours is a minimal full-time class load, at least for financial aid purposes. Fifteen or 16 hours per semester is an average full time load.
By that measure, you would need *at least* 24-32 credit hours to escape freshman status and be called a sophomore.
This figure will vary by institution - check at the college of your choice. Many, if not most, colleges have a copy of the student handbook available online.

Generally, take the number of credits you need to graduate and divide by 4.
