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. In addition, the bachelors and associate degrees are referred to as undergraduate degrees while the masters and doctorate degrees referred to as graduate degrees.

What college degrees do lawyers need?

In the US, most attorneys have an undergraduate degree and a JD (Juris Doctor). The undergraduate degree can be in about anything, but business (for those interested in the business area), political science (if you're interested in politics), or English (the writing skills are very important) are very common. After the undergraduate degree, law school (to earn a JD) takes three years. Then all you have to do is pass the bar! A previous responder indicated a LLD (Doctor of Law) was necessary, but the LLD is actually an honorary degree which cannot be used to sit for the bar exam in any state.

What type of undergraduate degree to get for a pathologist?

A person must attend medical school and receive an MD or DO to become a pathologist in the U.S. There are a few medical schools with accelerated programs that allow students to receive both an undergraduate degree and a medical degree in less time and without as much of the stress of the usual medical school admissions process.Generally, a degree in chemistry or biology would have the most classes in common with prerequisites for medical school, but many undergraduate degrees would be acceptable. Engaging in undergraduate scientific research that involves pathology or pathogenesis would be helpful. A degree in microbiology would involve similar labor to a pathologist in terms of interpreting slides and understanding molecular disease process, but there is no experience with gross anatomy.
