<p>Is UMich engineering a 4-year program or a 5-year program ? ASEE data seems to say that around nearly all take 5 years. But what's really going on?</p>
<p>Most people take 5 years to graduate, but it is possible to graduate in 4.</p>
<p>Is it 5 years to graduate with just an undergrad degree, or does this include the fact that many programs have combined undergrad/masters programs?</p>

I found that hard to believe. Most of the dozen or so engineering students I know graduated in 4 years. Could you provide a link?</p>
<p>If a student places out of Calc I and II and Physics and Chemistry, graduating in 4 years is very manageable. If one enters with no credits and does not place out of any of the Math or Science requirements, it could well take 4.5-5 years to graduate.</p>
<p>I have to imagine that graduating in 4 years is the norm; it's actually fairly easy to graduate in 3.5 if you have a moderate amount of AP credits.</p>
<p>If Cornell engineering is 4 years I see no reason why UMich can't be. I'd think 5 for Bacc/Masters</p>
<p>I agree. When I was in Michigan, most of the kids graduated in 4 years and we didn't have AP credits back then. I can't believe it is that much harder now.</p>
<p>Most Engineering students I knew at Michigan (and mostof my friends were Engineers) graduated in 8 terms, but a significant portion also graduated in 7 terms (3.5 years) and just as many in 9 terms (4.5 years). Not many took 5 years, but it happens in the case of students who have not taken any AP level classes in high school.</p>
<p>How does AP credit for students who have taken international coursesw (other that IGCSE) work?</p>
