Last 60 hours of undergrad?

What is meant by this? Can anyone translate this into semester/quarter system?

It'd be your last 4 semesters, if your school operates under the traditional Fall and Spring system; basically, it's the last 2 years of a 4-year undergraduate degree. This is notable in admissions because it generally is a more useful indicator of the applicant's academic ability than your first couple of years, when you may be adjusting to college and indulging in some unrelated elective courses. Furthermore, you'll likely be taking advanced-level coursework in your major during the last 60 hours.

Last 2 years of course work, taking the typical course load.
