For AUA (can't judge for another school)

Short answer Yes: at least 60 credits of undergraduate credit (semester hours).

Long answer Yes...what you and every other graduate of an off-shore Premedical program will need to do is make sure you have a 'course-by-course' evaluation of your transcripts completed by a NACES qualified agency once you begin the National Residency Match process and probably sooner to make sure you have it.

This evaluation will convert the credit and grades to the US system and usually includes an equivalency of US accreditation (State, Regional, National).

To further ease your mind you should take a look at a few State Licensing Board websites and see what they require from graduates of off-shore schools in documenting their academic background. You will probably not find any reference to the evaluation as a requirement...usually they only list a translation if transcripts aren't in English. But it behooves applicants to make the process as simple as possible for any agency tasked with evaluating transcripts.
