 I guess the inability to grapple complex math concepts is behind the move of colleges to increase the ranks! Now you can get your degree in 3 years instead of 4 thus "saving you money." So why was this not pushed as a better option in the first place instead of sucking an extra year of tuition/student loans out of the student body? Is that greed? Click HERE to read more... The flaw in their logic of using the summer to complete course work in order to graduate sooner, is that you are STILL paying the same amount of money since the number of units you need remains the same - you just cram it in a shorter period. So it seems to me that this is just not a good solution to getting that basket weaving degree you've always dreamed of! How about making it cheaper to get that degree? MisterWriter |

IF THEY ARE PUSHING 3 YEAR COLLEGE INSTEAD OF 4 TO SAVE YOU MONEY, SHOULDN'T THEY HAVE JUST OFFERED 3-YEAR PROGRAMS TO START WITH?

While the cost of the degree/units itself does not change, the cost of housing and living expenses is reduced by a year. For students living in dorms, or campus apartments this is a savings. Students living at home - you are correct, cost is roughly the same.
The kids that are graduating from high school have to take so many remedial classes in math and english they can't get through a 2 year community college in 2 years. How do they expect these kids get through a 4 year school in 3 years?
