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.

Is 180 credit hours equal to MBA?

The number of credits does not determine equality to any specific program of study. Each program will have specific requirements. Once you are accepted to that program, successfully complete the requirements of that program, and the registrar indicates you have completed the program and have graduated, then you have that degree.

I have over 120 credit hours and want an associate degree how do i get it?

The number of credits do not necessarily equate to a degree. It's whether the courses you completed satisfy the degree requirements particular to a specific program of study (major). If you completed the courses at a college or university that offers an associate degree it will be much easier to obtain the degree. It you completed the coursework through various schools it will be more difficult because intuitions have a transfer credit limit. Therefore the institution would require you completed a number of courses in residency. I would be able to give you more information if I knew exactly where you completed your credits. Lastly, if the credits are spread across a number of disciplines, you would want to look at a liberal arts, or exploring the arts and sciences degree where the school will be able to use more of your coursework.

Up to how many semesters can you receive student loans as an undergrad?

it doesnt go by semesters... it goes by hours... and sometimes even hours attempted... i think its like 150% of total hours in the degree program you are in. so if the degree takes 120 hours then you are allowed 180... it could be 125%... i know its one or the other, but I don't remember if that document came from the government or the school itself.
