The classification of being a sophomore in college is typically based on the number of credit hours completed, rather than the number of hours spent in college. The specific number of credit hours required to be considered a sophomore may vary among different institutions. In general, it is safe to say that with 45 college credit hours, you are likely in your sophomore year of college.
