normal time spent to finish university?

[OpportunityChaos]

i know that university undergrad programs are supposed to be finished in 4 years, but how many people spend more than 4 years to finish an undergrad program? 5, 6 or 7?

this is for a fulltime student not part time.

[cupa]

I know of people who have taken 5 years because of Co-op or because they missed a course they needed to complete their undergrads who then ended up getting a double degrees because of all the electives they've picked up over the years.

[myster]

Double majors, combined degrees, and co-op/internship integrated programs usually have five years.

[randomdef]

normal 4 year programs? without all that horseshit everyone e brought up, is usually finished in 5.5 years.

[Jon Lai]

No offense but this is a pretty useless question. There is no "normal" time, it depends on the program.

[ameko]

there is no normal time.
some ppl even didnt go directly to uni/college after high school.

[BlueHurley]

5 years on average for undergrads.

4 years on average for undergrads.

My aunt earned an undergrad at York in three. But that was a while ago.

they arent counting starting the day from your high school grad, he means from when you start. and 5.5 is the answer, ignore the other answers because they are wrong.

To OP: Ignore this guy. He is wrong.

to op: why does this question even matter

[cassandraj]

Many people I know only took the four years, but others have - just in their last year, usually - decided to come back for at least another semester to get credits their either dropped or failed.

to op: ignore this guy, he is wrong.

To OP: Ignore this guy. He is doubly wrong. AND he is a copy cat. :cheesygri

well i asked this question because i found out, if i wanna do a minor, then i gotta stay back an extra year. this kinda made me sad since i won't be graduating with some of my friends and i just wanna know how many other people out there are like me taking an extra 1 or 2 years to finish university.


do you guys think its bad staying an extra year? or 2 years?

There is nothing wrong with staying as long as you like.

Profs get educated there, work there, and will likely die there. Why are you worried that you won't graduate with your friends? Post-secondary isn't highschool.

[BlueHurley]

You shouldn't be basing your life on your friends.

[gamer123]

when you graduate one semester earlier (jan/feb), do you attend the following graduation ceremony (may)?

The trend is towards students taking more time to complete their degrees.

[board123]

My program is 4 years 8 months with no breaks in between.

[XxXSnake23XxX]

4 years but im thinking of 4.5 or 5
no rush

You can also think about it this way: You'll be working for the rest of your life anyways, so why not stay at school for another year? =)

I'm going into year 5 of my BA (which full time is "supposed" to take 4 years). I rushed through my fourth year to get a full time job, and now I have it, and decided to upgrade the classes I did poorly in because working just isn't as fun as studying.

[purine5]

i did 5 years for my BA

cuz i have gone through changing my major two times
i finally started taking my major during my 3rd year.
and manged to graduate in my 5th year lol

awww

i miss school. i really do miss socializing and all those extra curriculars

working is boring

[GeneralDisaray]

Well in most parts of the world, a normal BA takes 3 years (including honours.)

My program is 4 years but I'm on internship for 16 months and then back to school and then working towards my CA (another 3 years+) after I graduate, so I plan to enjoy these ****** choices as much as I can.
