It depends on where you are pursuing the degree and the academic semester system of the institution. Some institutions operate on a semester system, others on a quarter system, while others on a tri-semester system. For example, those colleges and universities that operate on a regular semester system a bachelor's degree can run between 120 to 128 credits. For those on a quarter system it could run approximately 180 credit hours. Thus, I believe the school your are referring to is on a quarter semester system where 180 credit hours would equal 120 credits for institutions that operate on a regular semester system. In this case the 180 credit hours would appear to be correct for a bachelor's degree.

How many credit hours does it take to obtain a Bachelor's degree In Applied Sciences Business Management And is it normal to pay 12000 a year?

First, to significantly cut the cost of a bachelors degree. I would think about starting at a community college, then after obtaining the associates degree, transfer to the four year institution for the bachelors. As per your request on the amount of credits needed for a bachelors degree; the bachelors degree can run between 124 to 128 credit hours.

How many years of accounting do you have to study in college to get a bachelor's degree?

It depends in which country you are doing bachelor's degree. However, in most cases it is 3 years and 2 year for post graduate. In the US, most Bachelors programs are scheduled for 4 years with a normal course load. You could take more or less courses to decrease or increase the time required. Each college or university sets its own ciricullum required for each major, so the number of accounting credits needed will vary.

How long does it take to earn associate's degree?

Answer 1: I see that this question is part of the "UCAS applications" category, which pertains to the UK. Associates degrees are uncommon in the UK. They're a decidedly US and Canadian (mostly US) sort of thing. Most of what's covered in a US associates degree is covered, in the UK, as part of things like GCSE and GCE A-levels, O-levels, etc.That's why US bachelors degrees are four years long, whereas UK bachelors degrees tend to be only three years long: Because in the US, what's normally covered in the UK in GCE/GCSE, A/O-levels, etc., is typically covered in the first roughly year-and-a-half (or so) of the typical US bachelors degree. Since the US associates degree is little more than the first two years of a US bachelors degree, then a US associates also covers those same basic subjects as the UK's GCE/GCSE, A/O-levels. And US students go straight from 12th grade (high school) into either a two-year associates, or four-year bachelors degree program.Students in the UK already have what's mostly covered in a US associates degree by the time they enter a UK bachelors program, hence the reason a UK bachelors program is typically only three years long, whereas a US bachelors program is four years long. Truth is, a three-year UK bachelors covers more coursework in the major than does a US bachelors; so an argument could be made that someone with a US associates, and then a UK bachelors, is actually better educated in whatever is the UK bachelors degree's major than are most US students educated in whatever is their US bachelors degree's major!The US also doesn't have the three-year "certificate" then "diploma" then "degree" system, wherein one may exit a three-year UK bachelors program after the first year, and earn a "certificate" in whatever is the major; or may exit after two years, and earn a "diploma" in whatever is the major (and then, of course, a "degree" is earned if the student stays the whole three years).The UK also tallies its credits differently than the US does. The UK uses "points," and a typical year's worth of points in the UK is around 120; and so a three-year UK bachelors degree equals 360 points. The US tallies in either "semester credit hours," or "quarter credits," depending on which system the US school in question happens to use.In the US...At most regionally-accredited schools in the United States (US), an associates degree -- designated as "Associate of Arts" (AA), or "Associate of Science" (AS) -- consists of sixty (60) "semester credit hours" (if the school is on the "semester credit hour" system), or ninety (90) "quarter credits" (if the school is on the "quarter credit" system), either of which may be completed in two (2) years of full-time study.At most US regionally-accredited schools, "full-time" study means either 30 semester credit hours (if the school's on that system), or 45 quarter credits (if the school's on that system) per year... accomplished either during the normal semesters or quarters, or during those plus summer sessions.A small number of schools require a tiny bit more credits for an associates. Some (again, a small number) of schools on the semester credit hour system require 66 semester credit hours of study in order to earn one of their associates degrees; and an even smaller number of schools on the quarter credit system require as many as 94 to 98 quarter credits in order to earn one of their associates degrees. But, again, such schools are in the minority. At most US regionally-accredited schools, either 60 semester credit hours (if that's the system the school is on), or 90 quarter credits (if that's the system the school is on) will earn an associates degree.Most US regionally-accredited schools, just FYI, are on the semester credit hour system.

Four years for a bachelor's degree and two years for an associates degree in whatever program they are enrolled in. Keeping in mind that they are taking the normal amount of credits and are passing all of the classes they take. There is no degree to become an author.
