Bachelors Degree in 3 years

Question

Is it possible to go from High school diploma to a Bachelors degree in about 3 years.

Looking in to ST Leo university on line and it says I can get a 4 year degree in about 3 years is it possible trying to change my life a little quicker if possible?

Answer 1

At most universities it can be done if you take summer school and extra classes, and perhaps if you come into college with a lot of AP credits or some community college classes.  However, your focus should be on getting an education that will be respected and recognized by employers, not one that is fast.  It will do you no good to get a degree quickly if you do it at a school that no one recognizes.  In general, the online schools do not have a great reputation, especially for students of traditional age (people understand it more if you are older and have to fit it in around a family and a profession, but if you are 18 or 19, they assume you were to lazy to go to a real school).

Answer 2

Yea you just have to take more classes each semester...you can also take summer classes..Thats what I plan on doing...I will be taking 18 credits instead of the normal 12-15..so i can finish earlier.....it does not matter if you finish in 3 or 4 years..it will not go against you.....at all...all they care about is that you revieced the diploma and a good gpa..good luck

Answer 3

yes, but a 4 year is an honours while a 3 year is not

Answer 4

You can get a BA/BS in 3 years, but you won't have much of a life. You will need to take beyond full loads every semester/quarter for the entire duration, and may need to even take summer courses. The average person takes 4-5 years for a Bachelors because of having to work while going to school, or from not taking excessive loads so they don't break down in the middle of college and end up dropping out.
