One credit equals 16 hours of class contact time. 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.
Credits are usually based on the actual number of hours in class. Eighteen hours would be that many hours in the classroom each week. And most say to plan for 2 to 3 hours of study time for each hour in class.
The duration of The Hungry Bachelors Club is 1.55 hours.
The duration of Virgin Stripped Bare by Her Bachelors is 2.1 hours.
Classroom hours and credit hours are reckoned by two different standards. Classroom hours refer to the number of actual hours a person attends class. Credit hours are the number of credits assigned to the class. Most classes are worth three or four credit hours.
It depends on the bachelors degree you want...For mine, I need 180 quarter credit hours (60 classes)...its typically 170-210 credit hours...divide that by 3 and you will get how many classes
For colleges and universities that operate on a regular semester system, one credit requires 16 hours of class contact time for the semester. Thus, a three credit course would require 48 hours of actual class contact time for the semester. This is typically broken down into three hours per week for the length of the semester.
For colleges and universities that operate on a regular semester system, each credit requires 16 hours of class contact time for the semester (actual time spent in class). Thus, a three credit course would require 48 hours of class contact time for the semester, which is typically broken down into three hours per week for the length of the semester.
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.

127-132 hours 4-5 years.
As long as there has been more class periods than actual classes, the worst schools would create "study halls."
If you are referring to actual class contact hours, for colleges and universities that operate on a regular semester system, it depends on the number of credits the student registers for. One credit is equivalent to 16 hours of class contact time for the semester. Thus, a three credit course requires 48 hours of class contact time. The average full-time load is 15 credits, therefore the total class contact time for the semester would be 240 hours for the semester, and typically broken down to 15 hours of class per week for the length of the semester.
When it comes to getting a job in aviation, the actual degree you have is mostly irrelevant. The only things employers will look at are the fact that you have a (any) bachelors degree, your total hours, and your certificates. So, if you have commercial multi-engine, and instrument certificates, and a good number of hours, the employers really will not care whether you have a major or minor in aviation.
