What is the definition of a bachelor of sports science?

Answer 1

A bachelor's degree in most areas can require between 120 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 trimester or quarter 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 as a result of basic skills testing. 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. Still, there are some colleges and universities that offer accelerated programs. In addition, the bachelors and associate degrees are referred to as undergraduate degrees while the masters and doctorate degrees are referred to as graduate degrees.

The Bachelor of Sports Science degree would be a bachelor's degree that has a central focus on the areas of sports coaching, sports management or sports studies.
