I am a freshman taking 24 credits this semester and 24 credits next semester as well. Call me crazy, but I'm really enjoying myself. This would put me at 48 credits at the end of the year. My adviser says I could easily graduate in 3 years instead of four. However, I have to do what is called a "junior production" and a "senior production" before graduating.
My question is, at what point would I be considered a junior? Is there a standard amount of credits that would determine your class year (sophomore, junior, senior, etc.)? Or does this vary by school? I am taking sophomore and junior level classes right now, but with first-year Gen Eds.

It is different at different schools, but look at how many credits you need to graduate, and divide that by two to figure out how many you need to be considered a junior. At my school, 24/semester would not be possible. That would be eight courses, with five being the norm. You need to petition to get more than 17 units, and I don't know of anyone who has ever had more than 19.

It will depend on the school. But, at my old school, 30 credits is a sophomore, 60 credits is a junior, and 90 credits is a senior.

Yes, they absolutely are. That's the great part about Junior Colleges. The cost is WAY cheaper than 4-years and the classes are easier. What you do need to do, however, is check with the University you are planning on transferring into and find out which classes that you're taking in JC are transferable. Most General requirements classes (Bio, Math, History, etc.) are transferable but double check with the college you're trying to get into.
