A bachelor's degree in most areas can require between 120 to 128 college credits particular to a specific program of study. This would be based on a college or university that operates on a regular two semester academic year which is the most common. For institutions that operate on a tri-semester or quarter-semester it would be quite different. That being said, the Bachelor's degree - in most cases - is designed as a four year program of study, provided the student is full-time and follows their chosen program of study as prescribed by the college or university, and also provided the individual does not require prerequisite or developmental coursework as a result of basic skills testing. The minimum credit load for a full-time student is no less than 12 credits per semester. However, to complete the degree within the four years, a credit load of approximately 15 to 18 credits is recommended. For individuals who work or who have other responsibilities that would prohibit them from attending full-time, completion of the degree may take twice as long. Still, some of this time can be cut down by attending summer sessions and/or interim sessions. Still, there are some colleges and universities that offer accelerate programs. In addition, the bachelors and associate degrees are referred to as undergraduate degrees while the masters and doctorate degrees referred to as graduate degrees.
Dude, that depends on how many hours you take each semester. Usually it takes 4 years. I think roughly 120 semester hours are needed for a Bachelors, and a full load of classes is usually considered to be 15 hours. That's 30 per year, times 4 years, 120 hours. Of course, you can take fewer hours, and stretch it out, it's up to you.
Answer
Bachelors Degrees in general are designed to be completed in four years provided the students takes the program as a full-time student. However, how long it takes to complete in reality is dependent on several issues.
• Is student full-time or part- time?
• If full-time, what is the credit load the student is carrying. Is the student enrolled each semester as prescribed, or carrying the minimum credit load for a full-time student?
• Is the student required to enroll in remedial courses as a result of placement testing?
• Is the student required to repeat any courses because of a low grade, or lack of appropriate assimilation of course content?
In addition, there are some degrees that may be designed to extend passed four years of study. As an example, Engineering/Architecture in most schools is a five year program at the Bachelors level.

It depends on how hard you work. You can do it in the standard 4 years, or work much harder to get it done in 3. Some people take their time and get it done in 5.

A bachelor's degree is a 4 year degree, regardless of the subject. If you want to make it take longer you can. Some colleges allow you to take classes all year long instead of taking the summer off, in these colleges a bachelor's degree can be completed in 3 years.
