How long does it take to graduate with an engineering degree?
On average, students in the college of engineering graduate in 4.5 years. The amount of time to graduate can vary widely based on how much AP credit the student brings in, the student’s progress through the course sequences and whether the student chooses options such as co-op, summer school classes, and credit-by-exam. The degree plans for all undergraduate degrees offered by the college show the class sequences completed in 4 years, with a course load of around 17-18 hours each semester. However, many students don’t want to take that heavy of a course load each semester (15 hours/semester is the average), so they use some of the options mentioned above and work with the academic advisors to plan their semesters.
