Most people enter college with the hope of leaving with a bachelor's degree. College students are usually required to complete between 120 to 128 credits before being awarded with a bachelor's degree. Many people decide to transfer credits earned from associate's programs available at community colleges towards bachelor's programs at traditional 4-year institutions. College students must select a specific major and then complete the necessary major, elective, and general education credits before graduating with a bachelor's degree.
