What is the equivalent of a baccalaureate in the us?

Answer 1

Most American colleges require about 128 semester hours for an undergraduate degree. Also, a major usually is required to be declared by the end of the sophomore year of full time equivalency.

Answer 2

A bachelors degree is equivalent to 6-8 years of work experience or an associates degree with 2-4 years of experience or a combination of work experience and formal training which may include professional certifications.

For example:

HR professionals with less than a bachelors degee, with PHR or SPHR certifications and four or more years of professional HR experience would be equivalent to HR professionals with a bachelors degree, with less than two years of professional experience and no certifications.

It really depends on the hiring manager and the position in which you're applying for. If a job posting reads "bachelor's degree or equivalent" then a bachelor's degree is not required for that position. The degree can be earned through a regionally or nationally accredited college or university. However a regionally accredited degree is more widely accepted than a nationally accredited degree in the US.

Answer 4

A baccalaureate is a baccalaureate. Within the US, it is most often referred to as a bachelors degree. 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. 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.
