Possible to get a B.S in 3 years

<p>You think it is feasile to get a B.S (in math or physics) in three years if you take summer courses?</p>

<p>yes...or go to cambridge and get B.S. and M.S. in 3 years. There's a deal.</p>

<p>Why the rush?</p>

<p>I know people that got their BS in 2 years because they took winter and summer classes as well as extra units at community colleges.</p>

<p>do you really save money that way, or do they just charge you like normal for those winter and summer courses?</p>

<p>Winter and summer classes actually cost more than other classes. Especially at state universities. So you don't really save any money.</p>

<p>I am doing a 3-2 program with Columbia. Thats why I need to finish in three years.</p>

<p>If you are doing a 3-2 program then obviously it is possible.</p>

<p>It is possible if you are getting a B.A. from the first institution. But I am considering getting two B.S degrees (not one B.A and one B.S). So yeah, I guess I could take some summer/winter courses to do this?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>It's possible since I knew a guy who graduated in Computer Engineering in 3 years.</p>

<p>ok thanks guys</p>

<p>I can graduate in two years with a normal courseload and no summer classes because of APs and advanced math placement. So yeah, I'd say it's possible.</p>

<p>I earned my B.S. in three years (back in 1981). I remember the first time I petitioned for an overload and it was denied. It said, "no need to hurry".</p>

<p>All that did was fuel my drive even more, so as soon as I was a sophomore and was able to take 22 credits per quarter without petitioning, I did. I was paying my entire bill for college (no help from parents), so I figured the sooner I could get out and could start earning money, the better.</p>

<p>It worked for me, but I certainly wouldn't advocate this as a feasible route with today's academic demands.</p>
