I used to be a music major (singing) but now, as a junior, I am changing to music education so that I'll actually be able to, you know, get a job! :)
Anyway, I am transferring to another college. I saw my counselor this morning and he said that's fine because I already have a lot of the required classes, but because now I am dealing with education it will take me an extra year. Is graduating at 23 instead of 22 really okay?

It has become very difficult to get the required number of credits in only four years! I work at a university and it is seldom that students finish in 4 years. They keep raising the number of credits needed for graduation(I wonder if it's just a money grab). Best to you. ;-)=

It is completely common now a days to graduate in 5 years. A lot of programs are so jam packed with classes that there is no way short of killing yourself with class work overload to even get done in 4 years. I graduated from an accredited interior design and architecture program where the common time to graduate was 5 years. There was no way around it. It took me 6 because I also switched my major and college my junior year! Don't sweat it and do what makes you happy and feel secure! I'm glad I decided to do what I did!

Yes, that's fine. I know lots of people who spent 5 years getting an undergraduate degree.
However, maybe you can take classes in the summer or during winter session to graduate early if you think graduating at 23 is "late".

Yes. Now a lot more people take years off from school to work, start families, etc. A lot of people even start school at a later time and not straight out of high school. I would say that it is very common to graduate in 5 years.

OMG yes. It's one year out of your life, one year! 23 is still just a young adult.
Now think if you retire at 65. That would be 42 years in the work force. I doubt a single year will make that much of a difference!!!!

It is so common that federal and state financial aid can be awarded for five years instead of four. Also, athletes on scholarship almost always get approved for the fifth year.
