A bachelor's degree in most areas can require between 124 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 if you want a pr-med degree in periatrician how many years does that take?

There is no such thing as a degree in pre-med. It is a curriculum layout that some colleges and universities articulate as pre-med, which is designed to ensure students who indicate they are pursuing a medical degree take the necessary prerequisites required by medical schools. Students who wish to become physicians come from a variety of educational backgrounds. That being said, these students must be well grounded in the sciences to include areas in biology, chemistry, physics, math, and at times computer literacy. This is what the pre-med curriculum layout is designed to do. Many students who are headed for medical school major in biology, but it is not a requirement. The length of time is approximately eight years beyond high school completion.


What type of college degree do pre-med students get before going to medical school?

Traditionally, most Pre-Med students choose to do their undergraduate studies in a Pre-Med Major (which many colleges offer). Pre-Med Majors typically touch on a variety of subjects including chemistry, organic chemistry, macro and micro biology, cellular biology, and anatomy. Although this is the more popular choice, students who are looking to attend medical school after their undergraduate studies can pursue a degree in anything they like.
