Thats correct. You spend 2 years at the community college and the other 2 years at the university after you transfer. Just dont fail any classes and you will be able to transfer in 2 years. Also, get the best grades you can and do your best.

Yes, that’s true. If you go to a community college for two years and take the right courses, you only need to take another two years (full time) of courses at a university.

It is also true that at some schools there are a number of people who don’t finish their bachelor’s degree in four years. Obviously, if you only take half the full load, it will take you twice as long to graduate. When schools talk about their programs being two- or four-year programs, they mean that if you take a full load each semester, don’t drop or fail any courses, and change your mind too dramatically about what you want to study, it will take you four years. At some schools, people mostly graduate in four years. At others, it might take five, six, or even eight years.

By the way, some people work 20 hours/week or even more and manage a full load of classes; others work full-time and take two classes per semester. It depends on what works with your lifestyle.

Most bachelors programs take about 4 years. It depends on how many credits you take each semester, if you take any summer school courses or mini-mesters, if you have to repeat anything, but basically, yes 4 years sounds right. A lot of people don’t graduate in 4 years because they work and go to school part time for a semester or two, don’t do so well in a class and have to repeat, or just take their time. But on the other hand, plenty of people graduate in 4 years; I also know a few who did it in 3, and a good friend of mine is graduating this december after 3.5 years.

I will graduate in May 2009, and 5 years of college. I went to community college for 3 years then transferred to a university (I start my first semester at my transfer school next week). I planned on only going to community college for 2 years but I also worked full time so one semester I dropped down to a part-time student so I had to take another semester. Then the program I transferred into only accepted for beginning in the fall, so last spring I took some extra classes to earn my associates (only need a P.E. class, one more math, and a computer class) while I waited for classes to start this fall at my transfer school.

Well that depends, you need to make sure that the classes that you take and the credits that you receive will transfer to that particular college that you attend. There are a lot of people who do attend college in 4 years. it all depends on what is going on in that persons life. I had a friend to complete it in three because she took a full load and went to summer school. Another girl I know finished in four without going to summer school but I finished in 5 I started in 1996 and finished in2001 I change my major in 1998 so that set me back. I didn’t work during college until my last year when I applied for the computer lab to just do something different. I was considered a wages job not work study and I only worked four hours four days a week.

but Good luck to you.
