To graduate with a bachelor's degree, your student will need to complete a minimum of 120 credits. If your student plans to graduate in four years, this means they must take 30 credits each academic school year, or 15 credits per semester (fall and spring), or 12 during fall and spring and 6 over the summer. Though this pace is not required, it is recommended for students hoping to graduate in four years. To graduate sooner, students may take as many courses as they feel comfortable with each semester. They can also take advantage of summer classes to get ahead.
