Graduating in five years?

Colleges & Universities Princeton University

<p>Hi,</p>

<p>I’m planning to apply to Princeton for the class of 2013, and I was wondering how viable it is to graduate as a non-engineer in five years. I’m really passionate about majoring in molecular biology, but there are a decent number of requirements for the major, and I’d like to have a lot of freedom to explore other fields that I’m interested in. What I’m asking is, is the school okay with students graduating in five years just to have the extra education, or do they limit you on the number of credits you can have by graduation? And does the school still provide financial aid for a fifth-year student?</p>

<p>Thanks for any help!</p>

<p>You have to graduate in four years with two exceptions:</p>

<ol>
<li>You are completing the Teacher Preparation Program</li>
<li>You took a year off (in most cases due to suspension)</li>
</ol>
