You need to find out if he University will accept any of your Community College credits, if they are affiliates they usually do.. Then you need to know how many credits you still need to graduate and how many credits you can carry and still maintain a GPA and a social life of any kind. If you are working your way through school, how much time does working and "living" leave you for studying. How important is speed thru college to you vs having some fun along the way... After you figure all of those answers you will have a pretty good idea of how long it will take. Good Luck

It depends on how many units are required for your major.
Going to a community college helps, but not all community college credits transfer at the university level. You may have to take more general ed classes at the university to meet their requirements on top of your major units.
You will need to decide if a Bachelor's degree is enough for your career or if you need a Master's or Ph.D. You may decide to double-major in your program, which will add unit requirements.
Theoretically you really should only do 2 more years at the university after graduating from a community college, but be prepared for 3 or more in the end. My university demanded 50 extra units through their school which forced me into 1 extra year and a minor. It was fun, but I wish I only needed the major requirements and only 2 years.
Good luck. Choose, but choose wisely.

That number will vary with your particular credits you can take with you to apply towards graduation. Generally speaking, community colleges offer a 2 year or AA degree. If you have enough to qualify for that and you are in U.S. schools, then you would add 2 more years to receive BA or similar degree.

Depends how many hours you have. Usually you have at least 60 to transfer, and most degrees are 120-130 hours. So it just depends how much you take. Should be 2 years but some do it faster or slower.

If they accept all your jc credits, only two. But you might want to just CLEP or test out on some courses as well. Universities very seldom will accept all the jc credits. They typically reject math, English and science classes but accept most all others.

4 years... two at a community college, then two at whatever college you transfer to, when you transfer you will automatically be considered a junior at the college you transfer to. =)

However long it takes you to complete the required credits.

If you plan carefully it should only take two additional years
