how long is college?

Answer 1

No single answer. There are 2, 4, 6 year degrees. Find out what meets your needs for going to college and pick the one that fits. If you get permission to take above maximum course load and go during winter and summer brake you can make it about half year shorter. That is tuff.

Answer 2

That depends on what you are taking, how serious a student you are, and what sort of financial backing you have.
College or university, at the baccalaureate level, normally takes four years to complete, but there are tri-semester universities (they have three four-month semesters a year, with no summer break) that allow you to complete a degree in less than three years.
A master degree normally takes another two years, although here, again, it depends on the faculty, what type of research you are doing, and how well your advisors get along.
A PhD takes another two years, minimum.
If you have no financial problems and can stay in university as long as you wish, you can stay as long as you wish. There are always new things to study, new advances, new research.
So, 'how long is college?' That's like saying how long is a piece of string.
It goes from start to finish.

Answer 3

For a basic college degree, it's usually around 4 years or 120 credits. But that varies for what major you're taking, school and price.

Some colleges actually prefer 5 years, and if you are going for any type of specialty degree (Bachelors, Asso., etc.), it's almost always 2-6 additional years.

Professions in the medical world require much more school. Veterinarians go to at least 4 years of Med school, 2-4 years of Vet. school and usually 2 years of basic animal studies.
Hope that helps!

Answer 4

Well it just depends on the student and the college they are attending. It is suppose to be 4 years of school, but it can take 6 years.

Answer 5

As long as you make it.

At first you could finish in 4 years or less, now colleges are making alot of money by keeping students around for an extra 5th year.

If you buckle down and make college about studying, you can get out in 3 years or less. If you make it about partying (my reccomendation) you can make it last as many as 8 years, then you can tell people your a Doctor!

Answer 6

usually college degree takes 4 years to finish but it will still depends on how long can a person take it.There are sometimes a four-year course only but it took 5-6 years to finish the degree. If you are very eager to finish the course rightaway, you could take summer lessons to be able to finish it within 3 years.

Answer 7

It depends on the university. If you go to a larger college it could be as long as a few miles, while smaller colleges could be just a few blocks.

Get it? I made a joke.

Answer 8

It depends on what you're planning to do and what kind of college degree you want.

If there's a specialist field (medicine, law, etc.) then there will be priliminary years of college while you get through the requirements for applications to such schools. Then you have additional years in law scool/med scool/veterin ary school or whatever it is you want to go to.

Answer 9

Depends on if you have to take developmental courses(i.e, math , english), depends on if you are going to be a doctor, lawyer, psychologist, or anything else that takes a good while, and finally it also depends on if you change majors, because then you have to take courses pertaining to the new major you just picked. Hope this helps. I know from experience when it comes to changing majors.

Answer 10

120 credits! It's up to you how long it takes you to get the credits. Usually 4 years.
