What colleges offer a degree with less than 60 credits?

It's extremely rare to find a legitimate bachelor's degree program in the United States (or most other countries) requiring fewer than 60 credits. A bachelor's degree typically requires 120 credits (or more). 60 credits might be sufficient for an associate's degree, but even then, many associate's degrees require closer to 64-70 credits.

Colleges and universities that offer programs with unusually low credit requirements for bachelor's degrees are likely either:

* Not accredited: Accreditation is crucial for the degree to be recognized by employers and other institutions. Unaccredited institutions often offer programs with lower credit requirements, but these degrees hold significantly less value.

* Offering a highly specialized certificate or diploma: These may be shorter programs, but they are not equivalent to a bachelor's degree. They might be offered as pathways *towards* a bachelor's degree.

* Making a misleading claim: Be very wary of any institution advertising a bachelor's degree with significantly fewer than 120 credits.

In short: If you see a program advertising a bachelor's degree with fewer than 60 credits, be extremely cautious and thoroughly investigate the institution's accreditation and the program's legitimacy before considering enrollment. You risk wasting time and money on a degree that may not be recognized.
