US colleges are cutting bachelor’s degrees from 4 years to 3
- Three-year bachelor’s degrees are expanding across the US, with colleges in 26 states now offering at least one shorter degree programme.
- Many of these degrees require around 90 credits instead of the traditional 120, helping students finish a year earlier and potentially save on tuition and living costs.
- Critics say the shorter format may not be accepted equally by employers, graduate schools or licensing bodies, especially in fields with strict academic requirements.
