Is it possible to get a bachelor's degree just by having more than the required credit hours?
Generally speaking, no, a degree requires more than just a certain number of credits. There are usually specific requirements for certain courses, and more requirements for credits and courses within a &quot;major&quot;. A minimum GPA is a requirement and there may be a separate GPA-in-major requirement.
But, you may have actually accumulated all of the requirements for a degree in some field if you don't care what it is. There is also some shortest path to graduation for you in any case. Someone like the university's &quot;registrar&quot; knows all of these things and can give you advice. But your advisor should be able to help, or even a secretary in one of the departments in which you have a lot of courses.
So, yes, you may need to change your plans, but you need specific advice from the institution offering the degree.
