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.

If I have two degrees that equal the credits of a associate's degree can I get a degree that say a associates on it?

First, your indicating you already have two degrees. So, I don't understand your question as such. If you have accumulated credits at different schools that equal the number of credits required for an associates degree, you cannot claim you have an associates degree. Degrees require more than just an accumulation of credits. The credits must be in specific areas, under a specific program of study, within an acceptable grade point average, as prescribed by the college.
