Frank was in the military (can earn you college credits) and it doesn't
take 4 years minimum to get a BS degree. It is often done in 3 or less.

For engineering?

Stop assuming, but since you did, I will lay odds years working in the
engineering field can translate into credits applied toward a related
degree. Credit for real work experience was conceived in the eighties
and took off in the nineties.

We're not talking about liberal arts here.

In fact, there are many who do it in less time.
Many major universities and schools have BS programs that take less than
4 years.

Name them.

There's that hypocrisy....(sigh),,you know, your refusal to answer for
your unsolicited and unbelievable claims haunts you so, which is why you
have lost all credibility. You provide for nothing these days, Dave, yet
find yourself on all fours begging others for confirmation of things the
generally educated public already know to be valid.
Try your own state's "bitch" of the Ivy League, Penn State. Look under
"fast track" and if you still can't find it, I'll place you in touch
with an admission's counselor who can try and make you understand such a
concept that is lost upon your forty-plus year old self.

And also list what the student has to do in

order to cram 4 years worth of work and study

into "less than" 4 years.

Simple. Summer classes is but a single method. But again, you are
assuming it takes 4 years work -and- study,,,it does not. Your answer
can never be correct when your equation is wrong from the beginning.

A B.S. degree requires a certain amount of

credits and certain required courses. So either

you have to take more classes in less time,

Ka-Ching! Give the man an affirmation for hitting on but a single
example that invalidates his original remark.

or

.you are somehow "getting around" certain

required classes. That starts to bring up

Frank's earlier analogy of the "new" 2 year

Bachelor's degree, and how the "old" 4 year

degree would be worth more by virtue of more
time spend in the classroom.

"Sandbagger"

You came full circle from denying it takes place (BS in less than 4
years) to not only acknowledging it happens, but giving your own
examples. See what you are capable of when others force you to think.
You sometimes just need a little kick of motivation.
