Engineers graduate within 5 years only?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Cal Poly San Luis Obispo

<p>I’m a rising senior, and I’m strongly considering applying ED. But one thing that worries me a lot is that I’ve heard that only very few engineers manage to graduate in 4 years. Is it possible to graduate within 4 years, considering I want to take relatively less credits in the first quarter to ease myself into Cal Poly.</p>

<p>I also have taken 2 AP’s this year (Bio and APUSH), and will most probably pass another 2 (Calc AB and Physics B) before entering Cal Poly. I will most probably get 3+ on all of them. I also took local CC classes (Accounting 1A, and Business 10). Will I get credit for these classes in anyway? </p>

<p>I also have another question. If I stay at Cal Poly for an extra quarter or 2 (4 1/4, or 4 1/2), does that mean I have to shell out another 25k for tuition and fees? Sorry if this question sounds naive; I don’t know much about these situations. Thanks for any help and feedback!</p>

<p>you pay for each quarter separately – in advance, of course.</p>

<p>so that total 25k is divided into 4 technically?</p>

<p>^^Well, you’ll still have to pay another year of housing</p>

<p>bump, can someone answer my question about the ap credits?</p>

<p>Then refer to your major’s flowchart. </p>

<p>And I’m assuming you’ll then ask “where will I find this flow chart?”</p>

<p>Google Search: Cal Poly (your major here) flow chart.</p>

<p>It is still possible to graduate within four years. In fact, as an engineer, it is possible to graduate in three and a half. I know a girl who took all of her engineering math courses in high school. She is going to graduate in 3 1/2 years. I planned out my schedule and may graduate a quarter earlier as well. I took a lot of AP credits and community college courses while in high school. I am also taking Cal Poly courses over the summer. I also applied for ED and ended up taking about 13 units my first quarter. For engineering, I think you won’t get credit for accounting 1A and business 10 unless it is considered a GE (look at assist.org). I know for my major (civil engineering), you won’t get credit for it. </p>

<p>I think you can pay by quarter too, but I’m not really sure.</p>

<p>oh thanks a lot! i’m doing industrial engineering, and yea i realized that acct and bus 10 can’t help :(</p>
