The statute does not state a specific number of hours; why is it called the “120- hour rule?
Subsection (a) of Section 61.0515 states that a student must not be required to complete more than the minimum number of semester credit hours (SCH) required for a baccalaureate (bachelor’s) degree by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools or its successor. That limit, which has remained the same for many years and is current as of 2008, is 120 semester credit hours. This means that most bachelor’s degree programs are now limited to a maximum of 120 SCH for graduation.
