Why does New Jersey require 64 credits for a Bachelor's rather than 60?

Question

If anyone knows why give me some insight, it's ridiculous that my scholorship will pay for 60 credits, meaning I will have to take summer classes and pay for them myself. I've lived here all my life and this is just another topping on the cake.

Answer 1

Most places require twice that.  My last two schools required somewhere between 120 and 124.  64 sounds more like an associates degree to me.
