Bachelors Degrees Majors

A bachelor’s degree is the most popular postsecondary degree option, and typically seen as the standard for employment in most professional fields. In most cases, a bachelor’s program takes four years of full-time study to complete.

However, some majors may take longer, or schools may offer accelerated programs allowing students to finish their degree in less time.

The two most common types of bachelor’s degrees are the Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) and the Bachelor of Science (B.S.).

There are a number of other options, though, that coincide with more specific major fields, such as the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (B.S.N.).

Generally, a bachelor’s degree consists of 120 semester credits, with half being made up of general education or liberal arts courses.

The other half will be courses geared toward a student’s particular major
