What are the typical number of courses to finish a major?

The typical number of courses to finish a major varies significantly depending on the institution, the specific major, and even the student's chosen electives. There's no single answer.

However, a reasonable range is between 30 and 45 semester credit hours (or 45-60 quarter credit hours). Some majors, particularly in STEM fields or those requiring extensive laboratory work, might require more. Others, like some humanities majors, might require fewer.

It's crucial to consult the specific degree requirements outlined by the university or college offering the major. These requirements are usually found in an official course catalog or on the department's website.
