How many credits do I need to earn my degree?

February 4, 2025

Students need 124 credits to earn a bachelor’s degree. Students can transfer up to 93 credits toward their degree, including work experience or job training such as EMT training, licensures, certifications, professional development and prior work experience that aligns with their degree path.

All coursework from all accredited institutions, including four-year colleges and community colleges outside of Massachusetts, will be considered for transfer credit. Please note that certain degree paths may require that a student complete a minimum number of major course credits at Merrimack.
