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.

First, to significantly cut the cost of a bachelors degree.

As per your request on the amount of credits needed for a bachelors degree; the bachelors degree can run between 124 to 128 credit hours.

How many credits do you need for a degree in law?

Answer 1: A two-year associates degree, no matter the subject, is 60 semester credit hours. A four-year bachelors degree, no matter the subject, is 120 semester credit hours.It depends, I admit, on the school, though. Some schools award associates degrees that contain 63 or 66, give or take, semester credit hours; and some schools award bachelors degrees that contain 123 or 128, give or take, semester credit hours. But, by and large, most associates degrees are 60, and most bachelors are 120. Period.So, then...If you want an Associate of Science (AS) in Sociology (or, at some schools, it might be an Associate of Arts (AA)) degree, then it'll be around 60 semester credit hours.If, on the other hand, you want an Bachelor of Science (BS) in Sociology (or, at some schools, it might be an Bachelor of Arts (BA)) degree, then it's be around 120 semester credit hours.Either way, you'll take the same basic courses in what's called "Lower Division General Education" (LDGE), which consist of courses across a wide range of subject areas -- most of which have nothing to do with a sociology degree -- so that you'll get a broadly-based general education, in many areas, in addition to the course in your sociology major.LDGE, at most schools -- and, again, this is regardless whether it's an associates or bachelors -- tends to be from 30 to as many as 45 semester credit hours; and so LDGE, alone, will take-up at least 1/2 to as much as 2/3 of an associates degree (or 1/4 to 3/8 of a bachelors degree). The rest of the courses, in either case, will be a combination of both general electives, and courses in the major (and in the minor, if you declare on... though typically only bachelors degrees allow the declaration of a minor).


How many years would it take to earn an associates and bachelors and masters and professional doctorial degree?

Well, you don't need to earn a two-year associates degree before earning a bachelors. You can start with a four-year bachelors degree. The master's is typically another two to three years and a PhD is another two to three years. Programs differ, as do schools and personal schedules, so completing all degrees can take from 7-10 years. Typical time frames and requirements: Associate's Degree - Two years full-time - Usually requires about 60 credit hours. Bachelor's Degree - Four years full-time - Usually requires about 140 credit hours. An Associate's Degree is not required to start a Bachelor's Degree. Master's Degree - One to two years - Usually requires at least 30 credit hours of graduate level courses. Doctorate's Degree - Two to three years - Usually requires between 80 and 90 hours. Not all Doctorate programs require a Master's Degree first. Example, a law degree is a Doctorate, but the majority of students enter law school directly from Undergrad. An attorney can then earn a Master's Degree later.
