===How Long Will It Take To Complete This Degree Once I Finish All the Alterative Credits?===
How long to complete depends on various factors such as experience, time commitment, the efficiency of studying, etc. However, considering you spend at least 20 hours a week on your studies, completing this degree could take 2-3 sessions.
