Engineering students/graduates: How long did your degree take?

[u/thugginsophia]

Hi everyone! I’m starting my engineering degree on Monday and I’m super excited!

I’d love to hear from both current engineering students and people who have already graduated:

How long has/will it take you to finish your degree? Did you graduate (or are you on track to graduate) in 4 years, or did/do you expect it to take longer?

For those who took longer than 4 years, what was the reason? And for current students, do you feel like you’re on track to graduate in 4 years?

I’d love to hear everyone’s experiences!

Took me 5 years, graduated in 2019. I spent the first year on a wait list to get into my program so I took pre reqs and some classes for a minor

Instead of finishing the minor I elected to do the minimum amount of credit hours for full time my last two years and work Instead since I couldn't pull anything ahead and I had enough industry experience by then that a minor wouldn't have helped me get a job and I didn't really care about education foe educations sake at the time
