It depends greatly on the college/university. A school might not require you to take any electives, while some will require it. It's frequently about 6 credits, although that number could be 12 or more if the school does not require a minor. It would be best to check the course catalogues of the colleges that you are interested in for their specific requirements.

Approximately 40 to 43 courses. A bachelor's degree in most areas can require between 124 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. 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. In addition, the bachelors and associate degrees are referred to as undergraduate degrees while the Masters and Doctorate degrees referred to as graduate degrees.

Is it more difficult to start from scratch and get your bachelors online in business than to get your associates first then get your bachelors In other words which makes more sense bachelors from h.s.?

If your goal is to get a BA in Business, and you don't want to go to a 4 year college at first, then you could go to a community college for your basic courses. However, make absolutely sure that the community college is accredited and that the 4 year college will accept the credits you earn toward your degree. While in high school, don't overlook the AP courses available for the basic courses (ie. English, math, language) that will provide some college credit. Online college is not only more expensive, but you don't make the personal connections that will serve you well later. It takes a lot of discipline to manage to finish online courses.


How a nurse can get psychologist degree?

Search for a psychology shool, and enter it. It will depend on what degree the nurse has. A bachelors of science in nursing usually requires some psychology courses and a number of general education courses. After completing my bachelors of nursing, I would only have to take two semesters of college to receive a bachelors of psychology. Then another 2 years for a masters or 3-5 for a PhD.
