Can a student finish bechelor's degree in two years ?

Question

i think its impossible even if a student takes two summer courses which is 3 months each he'll still finish it within 3 years

maybe with online courses still will take 2 years and a half

Answer 1

no..... one cannot get his bachelor's degree in that short of time.  I had to take like 15 hours one summer to be able to graduate in 4 years.... you have to have like 120 some hours to graduate with a 4 year degrees..... and that is why it is a 4 year degree..... 2 years to get an Associates.  1 year maybe if he has a degree in something and is going on to finish up a secondary BS degree..

Answer 2

Nothing is 'impossible', perhaps with advanced placement courses, heavier course loads, summer work, etc.  But- I'm sure I don't know of anyone who's done that.

Also, first the student would need to learn how to spell "Bachelor's Degree."

Answer 3

u are correct becaue u still have to go to school just to make up hte other classes

Answer 4

I guess it is possible but what is the rush. Stay a student as long as you can.

Answer 5

Yea the way your doing it you can. Good Job and Good Luck

Answer 6

I have never heard of anyone getting a BS degree in two years from any  creditable university.

I took 21 hours of upper devision core Engineering classes including 4 lab classes.  While I passed them all with B or better, I ended up in the hospital for 2 weeks just after my last final.  I had not slept more than 4 hours on any night all term. I had not taken ANY time off, for a conversation with anyone.  I studied while I went to the bathroom, while I cooked and ate meals, while I walked to class.  In the end, I could not take school seriously after that.  18 hours seemed no pressure at all.

Answer 7

It's impossible because NOBODY can take that many hours at one time without having a lot of time conflicts.

Answer 8

Depending on your field of study, sure.  Most gen-ed requirements can be taken in the summer.  Upper level courses are going to give you problems though.  Most (if not all) require pre-req's that are only available during standard course terms, not in the summer.  If you are looking to blast through school, the fast track timeframe is 3 years.  2 is rediculously short.

Answer 9

I earned mine in two years from an accelerated adult study program that was an extension of a very highly respected traditional University - however,  they accepted my credits from a community college, and I earned a full years worth of credit from CLEP and the military equivalent exam - for example, I tested out of two semesters of accounting, history, literature, geology, astronomy, fine arts, and my MCSE and MCSD were accepted as equivalent data processing courses.  I went continuously, taking one course at a time that lasted six to eight weeks, with several classroom hours and mandated study groups.  I also graduated summa *** laude, worked 50-60 hour weeks, raised two children, and earned other professional certifications during this time.

Answer 10

no. 3 years is min.

Answer 11

My cousin did her bachelors degree in finance in 2 1/2 yrs. This girl is very smart and disciplined, but she never looked stressed out while she was doing it, maybe because she chose something that was easy for her.  About the on- line courses, she actually took most of her courses on campus and a few on-line.

Answer 12

doubtful - some courses require taking other courses first - trying to do everything in 2 yrs would probably be impossible because of that - an all the courses you need might only be offered in certain semesters. I think even 3 yrs including summers is pretty hard to do, even if you are taking 3 courses every summer. it's not going to save much money, because you'll still be paying fulltime tuition for the summer semesters plus room and board

Answer 13

It all depends on the credit load you can handle, and the availability of the courses.   Aside from running 24-30 credits per semester, the only way I can see doing it is if you can get "challenge" credit by exam for some of the intro and core coursework.  

Good luck!

Answer 14

It may be possible but not too realistic. I took two back to back semesters of 24 hours each semester and it almost killed me. Not really sure that I learned all that a non-stressed student would have.

Whats the rush? These are the best years of your life, don't try to compress it into less time.

Answer 15

2 and a half is possible

Answer 16

yes it is. i know some friend of mine who has finished in 2 and a half years by taking 25 hours a semester but having to ask for the dean's permission to do that and take a ton of summer hours.my dad's boss's son finished in 3 years because my dad's boss told his sons that he is paying for 3 years of college and that the rest is their business.yes you can do it yet it will be extremely hard.plus my friend who finished in 2 and a half years also finished with a 4.5 GPA and worked at the same time and never missed class even when sick plus had a relationship.it depends on how much you can take that is yet i for one took 21 hours and it was excruciating for me.i would not reccomend it unless your parents are paying for  2 or 3 years.better to take your time and do better in school than go faster and shittier.

Answer 17

Yes...I wouldn't recommend it...but yes. The problem is that doing so means you have NO life, NO job, etc. All you are doing is class, study, eat, and sleep.

It also depends on the degree you are looking for... A Bachelor of Engineering, heck, no... The first year is 36 credit hours, the second year is 39 credits, the third is over 40 credit hours!

For something less strenuous (i.e.: Arts), take an extra two to three courses a year, plus 3 Summer Courses each summer.

Besides, if I wanted to, I could go for a Bachelor's degree in less than a few months from start to finish. All you have to do is contact a Univeristy and Challenge For Standing. You (generally) pay half the course fee, less the faculty fees and other such money grabs, then sit the exam. If you pass, you receive Standing in that course (which means you receive the appropriate grade). Do that often enough, and you can ask the University for a piece of Sheepskin, which they will reluctantly give you...although you will never be able to say that you were part of "The Class of ####."
