generally, bachelor's degrees are 4 years. this can be extended or shortened, of course, based on your courseload.
i think 2 years is kinda pushing it, though. few places around where i'm at dont offer a 'maymester' or anything like that. all there is is summer, fall, and spring.
generally, you would take less hours during the summer because the semester is shorter (if you even attend during the summer).
and my university (university of alabama, huntsville) requires 128 credit hours for a bachelors degree.
so, if you dont attend during the summer, that would be 128 hours / 4 semesters = 32 CREDIT HOURS A SEMESTER!!! people have trouble taking 15 or 16, and that is without working at the same time. my roommate is failing 2 classes and is only taking 12 hours this semester. he doesnt even have a part-time job.
even if you took the same number of credit hours during summer as you did during fall and spring, it would be 128 hours / 6 semesters = 21.3333... hours a semster. that is a little more reasonable, but remember that you probably won't take the same number of hours during summer as you do during fall and spring. all this is assuming that you will be a full time student.
most people take 16-18 hours a semster, which turns out to be about 8 semesters or 4 years if you dont attend during the summer.

most BS or BA 's take 4-5 years on average depending how many hours you take a semester and during the summer and such. yes it is a good degee to get especially if you could double major for both fields since then if something is not working any more in one field,you could lean on another or the other degree. that is my best bet and it takes you just as long but you have many more credit hours to take since you do double major! my sister is working on her Biology and Bussiness or Accounting Degree at UTD and heck she is taking sometimes 16 or 17 credit hours and going crazzy but the pay is worth it!good luck! also, check out what universities interest you and make an appointment with their advisors and get more info! that will clarify a lot of things! good luck !

A degree is usually taken four to five years. Say, Bachelors Degree in Business Administration which is an open door to become an executive. A Technology degree may be the same number of years spent in college but the subjects in BM are considered in your second degree.

commonly a Bachelor's degree is meant to take 4 years for an complete-time student. some scholars who may have taken various of AP element classes at the same time as in school (for which they get college credit) will be able of graduate in a shorter time. yet with the help of a similar token, if one is a section-time student, it may finally end up taking 5-6 years.

Anywhere from 2 to 6 years, depending on how many hours you can handle at once and if you take summer school/ 2 and 3 week courses during breaks or not. you can get this degree in 2 years if you take a large class load and go summer and between summer and fall and winter and spring classes. If you would like to take your time or can't handle a tough load, it will probably take you 4-5 years depending on if you go to summer school or not.

A BS is a good degree, I have one. It takes four years going to school full time. Sometimes it can take less and more. It all depends on how many credits you take a semester.

This should take 4 years normally. It will provide you with an average of 50,000 more bucks a year over your lifetime as opposed to no degree.
Good luck
