What Are the Requirements for a Bachelor Degree?
Earning a bachelor’s degree prepares you for entry-level employment in a profession or is the basis for continuing your education by entering a master’s or Ph.D. program. It’s the next step in the educational process beyond high school and the “basic” degree awarded by colleges and universities, although there are associate degrees given for more limited programs (usually 2 years in length). Most professional jobs and all graduate schools require at least a bachelor’s degree. Each discipline (subjects ranging from accounting to medicine to education) has specific requirements for earning its bachelor’s degree. This article describes the general requirements that apply to most degree programs. There’s a link at the end of the article for further information.
