POLL: 4 or 5 years in college

[minendo]

So how long did it take/will it take you to get your bachelors degree?

 

[minendo]

I'm hoping to be done in four years but it is looking like its going to take me five years to complete my bachelors. I need 145 credits to graduate with my minor, but it looks like I am going to come up short after four years.

 

[loup garou]

5
Freaking minor

My gf finished in 3.5....but she was a theater major!

 

[fatalbert]

it will take me 5 but at the end of the 5th year I graduate with both a Bachelors and a Masters

 

[BrunoPuntzJones]

1.5 years for associates
1.5 years for bachelors
1.5 years for masters (was hoping to get it done in one but alas )

all accounting.

edit: btw, those should be added. so 3 years for bachelors.

 

[Capn]

3.5 years total for bachelor's, graduated first in my class too

 

[SpongeBob]

It's gonna take me 4.5. So I rounded up and voted 5.

 

[Electric Amish]

I've been working on it for 7 years!!

amish

 

[audiophan]

doing the whole med thing, won't be out for at least 8 (if i get into med school that is)

Computer Engineering degree in 4 years...its a shame that it doesn't happen like that much anymore. I know a lot of people in their 5th year with more to go, and a couple in their 6th. I also know a guy who did it in 3 years (18-20 hours a semester), but that is crazy!

 

[fjorner]

4.5

 

[DevilsAdvocate]

4.5 years, so I rounded down to four to balance out Spongebob.

 

[gopunk]

aw crap, i accidentally voted for hs. 5 years for me, but because i changed my plans (as far as career/future goes)

 

[jbod]

It took me over ten years! (1.5 off and on, 3.5 straight) BS-BA MIS

No kidding, but I worked other jobs during the process. I was an EMT, a plumber, house builder, several factory jobs.

Hey those were valuable experiences!

 

[EagleKeeper]

5 Years (includes work on Masters)

Increasing the load sounds great, but you probably lose out on some understanding.

There are additioanl courses within most collegs that would be interesting/useful if you took them, however a structured 4 year regiment will not allow this.

 

[CoolTechie]

6 years

 

[minendo]

My biggest concern is that I wont be able to afford a fifth year.

 

[jbod]

Man, you are so close, just take out a loan or get some grants.

[punkrawket]

5 years...

here in England all degrees are 3yr Bachelors unless you do a year our or a year abroad. So that would make it 4 years.

You can upgrade and do a Masters in 4 years if you study straight and not do a year in industry or abroad. This has to be decided after the 2nd year though.

I intend to do a 3 years Bachelors and then do 2 year Masters

 

[minendo]

lets get some more votes bump

 

[whitelight]

4 yr bA. hopefully 1 yr masters.

I'm not sure, but it'll probably be five. It depends on what I pick for my double major. If I do music education, I could probably get out in four years, maybe four and another quarter. If I pick bio or something, definitely five.
