Outis Wrote:I definitely agree with you. But, I would like to point out that I am seeing a trend in the community college arena, in which they are beginning to offer BA/BS degrees in a limited and narrow fashion.
That would, in essence, make them 4-year colleges because they are offering 4 years of coursework.

Quote:Fifteen California community colleges will begin offering four-year college degrees within the next two years, including several in the Los Angeles region.

I have also seen programs in which a student can earn a BA/BS from (usually) a state university, while taking all of the courses at the community college campus.
This doesn't really have anything to do with what the OP was asking, I just thought it was interesting discussion.

"Bachelors degree from a four year college or university"
If it only took me a year and a half to complete my BA through TESC via testing out, does this not count as a "four year college?"
Actually a great question!!
No matter how long it takes, a bachelor's degree is considered a 4 year degree. So, if you inject CLEP exams, you're pressing the fast forward button a lot! (yeah!!) But, in contrast, if it takes you 6 years to complete a bachelor's degree, you've still only got a 4 year degree. The term "4 year degree" isn't really a technical term, it's slang for "bachelor's degree." Hope that helps!
