Its possible if you go to summer school, or overload severely each semester...

i'll be done with computer engineering in just over a year, totalling just over 3. and thats why i want to leave. cramming it in in that time is a bad idea. i am so burnt out its rediculous

I did it in three, but that was with a biology major. I did know one guy who got his biomedical engineering degree in less than four, but he was a bonafide genius and workaholic to boot. It strikes me as an nearly impossible feat for mere mortals...

I'm an ECE (electrical & computer engineering) major at CMU (just finished sophomore year), and I'm on track to get my BS in 3.5 years (MAYBE 3), with an MS in maybe 4.5 years total.

um...you don't need to be in college to find smart and pretty girls you know....actually, IIRC, most girls in college aren't too bright...those that are...are generally too involved in studies and reading to be going out.

I was having too good of a time to want to finish in less than four years. Also my majors really took 150 credits\hours to complete.
