<p>Any schools?</p>
<p>I can only speak to engineering. Even when a student has AP courses and the like, it often still takes the full four years to complete the course of study in engineering.</p>
<p>Are you talking about an undergraduate degree?</p>
<p>Yes, undergraduate. Maybe I got the information wrong, no more 3-year then.</p>
<p>I will be honest. I’ve never heard of a three year engineering program. I don’t know about business at all.</p>
<p>I agree w Thumper. Even if you could find one, I would imagine there would be significant holes in the students education and experience. Most engineering schools that are 4 years require semesters of 16-18 units/semester for 4 years. Even with a lot of AP credit, you can’t knock off much if any time, just have a more reasonable course load.</p>
<p>I think that it helps to take a few summer courses with the four-year programs.</p>
<p>This is not a 3-year program but it involves both business and engineering: [THE</a> JEROME FISHER PROGRAM IN MANAGEMENT & TECHNOLOGY](<a href=“Home - Jerome Fisher Program in Management & Technology”>Home - Jerome Fisher Program in Management & Technology)</p>
<p>At CO School of Mines, some engineering degrees (without business courses) are over 140 credits. It often takes extra semester(s) or summer coursework to complete.</p>
<p>There is a thread in the International Students Forum where a student wrote about trying to choose between a 3 year engineering program at U Minn, and a 4 year program at a university outside the US. I expect that that student just switched the numbers in error. I think that is where the OP got this idea.</p>
<p>Well, I’m with all who think it’s unrealistic (most of us on here are Engineers, parents and/or spouses of Engineers). I’m two of those plus an MBA. </p>
<p>It’s much more common to complete the Engineering BS in 4 years only by carrying heavy loads and/or summer courses and/or AP credit coming in. Not a few schools have the BSE as a 5-year program.</p>
<p>I will tell you that my step-grandson completed his Civil Engineering degree at a tier 2 state flagship in 3.5 years (we still can’t figure out how he did it; as he did not come in with any AP credit, nor do any summer credits). So I suppose it’s possible at some schools, but highly highly unlikely to cover the requirements for these two majors in fewer than 4+ years.</p>
<p>A friend from Germany told me that their high-school was focused for engineering majors so they covered the equivalent of a BS + MS in their four-year university program.</p>
<p>I sort of tried at RPI years ago; entered with 12 credits, took a couple semesters with 20 and 21 credits. But the grades suffered a little bit and it wasn’t really practical due to course sequencing. If I had picked a different specific major that matched my initial credits (chemistry, or chemical engineering) it might have been possible to finish in 3 years. But I would not do this over again and would not recommend it to anyone else.</p>
