Courses taken for the bachelor's degrees are examined for specific majors and overall fields of study (i.e., education, humanities, social sciences, quantitative fields, and business). Analyses are based on college transcripts of 4,440 participants in the National Longitudinal Study of the High School Class of 1972. Majors in quantitative fields and the humanities took 60% of their coursework in their major fields; social science majors took 50%; business majors, 33.3%; and education majors, 30%. At least half of the credits earned by all baccalaureate students were in general education courses. The following average number of credits were earned to fulfill bachelor degree requirements in the different fields; 129 credits by graduates in quantitative fields, 125 credits by humanitites majors, 122 credits by social science majors, 126 credits by business majors, and 130 credits by education majors. Included are tabular data on the average number and percent of credits for specific courses taken for bachelor's degrees by students' major field of study. Differences among graduates with specific majors are also examined. (SW)
