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.

How many credit hours are needed for an associated degree in the state of Ohio?

I don't believe that there is a difference between the states for requirements like these. An associates degree is generally 60 credits. You can receive multiple associates degrees pretty easily. At a local community college, a second associates degree is simply 15 additional credits if all other requirements are met. A friend of mine accrued an associates of arts and an associates of science within two semesters while he was taking prerequisites to transfer to a university. A bachelor's degree is usually 120 credits with a few weird exceptions. For example, at the University of Michigan a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry degree (B.S. Chem.) is 124 credits. Don't hate because I went to the University of Michigan and you're likely from Ohio. We're all friends on answers.com. :-) Hope this helps.

How long to obtain an associate's degree in music?

Answer 1: All associates degrees take two years to earn if they're pursued "full time"......meaning the student taking 15 semester credit hours per semester, for two semester (or 30 semester credit hours) per year, for two years, thereby earning the associate's degree's typical 60 semester credit hours. A bachelors degree, by way of reference, is double that: 120 semester credit hours, which typically takes a full-time student four years.It matters not what is the subject. The associates degree, regardless of subject, typically takes a full-time student two (2) years to earn.
