How long does it take to get your bachelor's degree in sports medicine?

Answer 1

It depends on what type of degree you are interested in pursuing. If you simply want a "sports medicine" certificate then it may take up to two years. An associates degree would take about the same amount of time. A bachelor's degree however requires completion of all required undergraduate classes (4 years). A master's degree would be completed 2 years after undergraduate school (6 years). A doctoral degree would be 2 years after completion of master's degree (8 years), yet keep in mind when pursuing a career on the doctoral level, it would have be accompanied by residency which is training in a particular medical category (orthopaedics, Physical Therapy, chiropractics, etc.) (between 2 and 6 years). In total, if you would like to obtain the highest educational degree in sports medicine it could easily take up to 14 years for you to be completely independent.

Answer 6

A bachelor's degree in most areas can require between 124 to 128 college credits particular to a specific program of study. This would be based on a college or university that operates on a regular two semester academic year which is the most common. For institutions that operate on a tri-semester or quarter-semester it would be quite different. That being said, the Bachelor's degree - in most cases - is designed as a four year program of study, provided the student is full-time and follows their chosen program of study as prescribed by the college or university, and also provided the individual does not require prerequisite or developmental coursework. The minimum credit load for a full-time student is no less than 12 credits per semester. However, to complete the degree within the four years, a credit load of approximately 15 to 18 credits is recommended. For individuals who work or who have other responsibilities that would prohibit them from attending full-time, completion of the degree may take twice as long. Still, some of this time can be cut down by attending summer sessions and/or interim sessions. In addition, the bachelors and associate degrees are referred to as undergraduate degrees while the Masters and Doctorate degrees referred to as graduate degrees.
