As others have told you — a Bachelor’s degree is a four year degree — and is usually the first degree that you get in college. Most people only get one bachelor’s degree — though some schools will allow you to get two at the same time. My university did not allow us to have a double major.
Most people do not get more than one bachelor’s degree. If they want more education, they go on for a master’s degree or a doctorate — which are both more advanced degrees.
If you want to become a cardiologist, you will need to get a BS, then go on to medical school to get either a MD or a DO degree.
To get into medical schools, you can get any bachelor’s degree that you like — as long as you take the courses required to get into medical school (usually referred to as pre-med classes). However, it is a good idea to do more than the bare minimum, so majoring in biology or chemistry would be a good idea.
To become a cardiologist, you need to get a BS (four years), an MD or DO (another four years), spend a year as a medical intern (one year), three years in a cardiology residency program. After that, you take an exam to become board certified.

a bachelor’s degree is given after you fulfill all the requirements, which usually takes four years in college. You can do a duel major – major in two subjects. In that case, you will be granted one bachelors in two subjects rather than two bachelors.
A cardiologist is a medical doctor, which would require four years of medical school, usually after earning a bachelors degree.
All the best.

normally you obtain a bachelor’s degree by completing 4 years at a university [or however amount of credits you need]. You can double major and obtain 2 degrees but thats about it

I don’t know where you live but go to your local university and ask for a prospectus and you will find all the info in there.
A Bachelors degree is the first type of degree one studies once you leave high school.
Typical students are around 18 years old when they start the degree and majority of the degrees last 4 years so by the time these kids graduate, they are around 22 years old.
If you want to become a cardiologist, you need to do a medical degree, preferably medicine and that definitely takes longer than 4 years.
Ask for a prospectus dude, it will give you all the relevant answers.

A bachelors degree is a 4-year college degree, so in 4 years you can earn one bachelors degree. However, you can take several majors so that your one degree will be in several subjects instead of one – you could take one major and get a degree in biology, or two and get a degree in physics and astronomy.
If you want to be a cardiologist, you need to go to medical school. You can get a bachelors degree in any subject and go to medical school, but you need to take the premed classes in bio, chem, physics and math. Biology and chemistry are popular majors among premed students because of the overlap with the premed courses.
