It depends on what courses you took and how they translate as American credits. It's a very broad question.

There are accreditation agencies that can evaluate and match courses from one university (even from a foreign country) to the equivalent course and credit in an American university. But when I tried to find one of these agencies with an internet search, all I could find was schools explaining their procedures for transferring credits. This makes sense, since the idea is for a student coming to the U.S. to continue his or her studies. If you are still in Pakistan, you might want to speak to a school advisor. They are probably familiar with the process and can point you in the right direction. If you are already in the U.S. look up a local college and inquire there. If you need additional hours to qualify for the same BA, I'm sure they would be glad to help. Oh, by the way, from what I remember about those agencies, they do charge a fee to research the credits and issue a formal report.. But I guess that's no surprise. Best of luck and Welcome to the U.S.
