35 percent finish their BS or BA in 4 years. We all know how much time it takes to go into a bio degree or chem degree, my question is how long did it take you to finish whatever BS or BA degree.

I'll finish my Bio degree with two minors in four years...less if I'd taken a few more hours each semester. It's possible...not sure why the stats are so low.
 
i dont know either, i also wanted to say i love the way you guys respond so quickly🙂

Six years, with a major change after sophomore year.

hmm but you switched majors so your 6 years isnt really 6 years towards the bio degree...I have another question to you guys finishing in 4 years how many science classes are you taking a semster, also if you are taking summer classes let me know.
 
I am staying at my university for all four years, but if you only count the classes that go toward a degree, I would say 2.5 years for 2 majors.

I think most people take fun classes on the side so it's really hard to gauge how much time it would take just for the degree alone.
 
I'm on track for 4 years. Almost all of my major and minor classes are done, I just have a whole bunch of gen eds to finish up senior year 🙂
 
If I wanted to I could graduate in 3.5 years, BA in chem and minor in biology. Although I'm set to grad in 4 years easily

Usually about 4-5 science and then 2-3 for my psych major.

My school actually doesn't let you stay past 4.5 yrs so we have to cram a lot of classes in.

No wonder you guys can finish in 4 years doing 3∅ credits a semester

35 percent of people finish a BS/BA in 4 years?

bull
 
Finished my BS Biochem in 3 years. Could've done 2 to 2.5 years if I wanted to kill myself, but why bother? Could've done 4 years for the MS, but I was dumb and applied late 🙁
 
I think that regardless it should not take more than 4 years to finish an undergraduate degree (BS or BA). However, this can vary a little bit in the sense that it should not take one 4 years to finish a degree that only requires 90 credits (including graduation requirements from the school/state).
 
4 years for a BS in biochem with a humanities minor, after transferring and taking a semester off.
I've had to take like 3 science classes when I was first doing prereqs, but now 80% of my classes are biochem electives.

A poll would be cool for this type of thread 🙂

And to answer your question: I'm finishing a BA in 3.5 years.

Honors Biology BS 5 years. The fifth year is mostly for thesis writing and trying to get your thesis published.
 
student takes one philosophy class
all of a sudden decides he knows all about the burden of proof
doesn't even admit that he was completely wrong
