On average, how many credit hours does one need to acquire a bachelor's degree? Are 12 hours a semester enough to graduate in four years?

Well for me I took 18 credits. You can't finish if you take 12 every semester. The best bet is to go with around 15 credit hours per semester. that gives you 5 courses and it will allow you to graduate on time. However, I think that you need to take a few 18 credit semesters.

College was stressful for me...
;y=ｰ( ﾟдﾟ)･∵. Bang

but hey I'm ending with my last semester only having 12 credits which is nice.

Well I'm elderly and attending school on my own money pretty much and don't want to fuck up my second attempt at higher education since the first time I was swamped and lacked a work ethic.
If I have to graduate in 5 semesters rather than 4, so be it. A degree is a degree is a degree.

True, but you're old. Most young people have this time to advance in careers that really use younger people. People going into law don't want to start an older age because it leaves less time for them to advance up the ladder before they are too old and retire. Now if you are an English major, or a History major, well it doesn't really matter, but there are some degrees that you want to finish when you are young.

depends what course and what major you do.
