My daughter finished in 4 years/8 semesters because that’s how she was funded. She had an 8 consecutive semester scholarship from the school, Bright futures was for 120 credits and there were risks of losing it if you took time off (I think co-ops would have been okay) and she had a 4 year athletic scholarship. She had to plow through. A fifth year would have cost me $60k and I didn’t have it.

She also came in without one single credit from AP and started in Calc 1 and Chem 1. Needed 131 credits to graduate and she just followed the recommendations for civil engineering, which was a schedule to get out in 4 years. Several of her friends also graduated in other engineering majors in 4 years.

My nephew also entered without any credits from high school. He got a D in Calc 1 and had to retake it, so then took Calc 2 in summer school to get back on track. He finished in 4 years but stayed to do a 5th and get a masters.
