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. Still, there are some colleges and universities that offer accelerate programs. In addition, the bachelors and associate degrees are referred to as undergraduate degrees while the masters and doctorate degrees referred to as graduate degrees.
Yes, as long as the credits were transferred over to a 4 year university later on. In general, most graduate schools require the completion of a bachelors degree. Nothing in terms of credit transfers to graduate school from either the associates or bachelors degree.
Ask your advisor
About 124 but it depends on your major.
If the question is in relation to Jamaica in the West Indies, then you have diplomas of different types. You have professional diplomas, some of which are considered equivalent to a Bachelors Degree; you have post-graduate diplomas that are post-Bachelors, post-masters, or post-doctoral degrees; then you have 1,2,3 year diplomas that are not equivalent to degrees but can be used to assess credit and exemptions for a Bachelors Degree or Bachelors Completion Degree. It can get a bit complicated. So for each diploma make sure you ask, so you know beforehand which category it falls into. There is also the University Council of Jamaica to check with to sort it all out.
The words "college" versus "university" can be confusing......especially in the US, where they can mean different things, depending on the state and/or the school(s) in question.It would be nice if things in the US were more like they are in the UK, when it comes to the difference between "college" and "university." In the UK, the university is the large, overall institution; and then each of its constituent parts are called colleges... like the University of London system.And in that (University of London) system, there is no difference: a masters degree is a masters degree.Gratefully, despite the less-clear difference between "college" and "university" in the US, a masters degree, regardless which kind of institution issues it, is the same, from either. A masters degree is a masters degree. Period.In pretty much all cases, a "masters" degree consists of from, typically, 32 to 48 graduate semester credit hours, beyond a 120 undergraduate-semester-credit-hour "bachelors" degree.Though the credits are calculated differently in the UK, it's still the same: first a bachelors degree, and then a masters degree; and it matters, not, whether it's from a school that calls itself a "college," or one that calls itself a "university." In either case, it's post-secondary, graduate-level higher-education that's immediatelly beyond the post-secondary undergraduate bachelors degree.
Take that half credit in a summer school session perhaps and graduate mid-term instead.
Oprah went to college at Tennessee University. She was supposed to graduate in 1975, but left when she was one credit short; she had gotten a job. In 1987, she was asked to give a commencement address at Tennessee University, but she felt she could not do that knowing that she had never graduated. So she did the coursework to earn one credit, and graduated then. --Oprah fan and New York Small Dog Examiner

2880. A semester hour is the same as a credit hour, a credit hour is the same as a contact hour. For a college or university that operates on a regular two semester academic year, a bachelors can take between between 120 and 128 credits depending on the specific program of study. Thus, I am a bit confused as to why you have indicated 2880 contact hours.2880. A semester hour is the same as a credit hour, a credit hour is the same as a contact hour.

A bachelors degree is designed as a four year program of study as a full-time student, provided the degree is taken as prescribed by the college or university. As a part-time student it will take longer. How much longer depends on the credit load carried each semester. The bachelors degree can range in credits between 124 and 128 depending on the specific program of study.
