It is possible for all of our students to earn their BS degree in four years. Because of the diversity of educational experiences of the students coming into our programs, no single four year plan is appropriate for us to publish. It is strongly recommended that you meet with your assigned advisor or the Coordinating Undergraduate Advisor, Dr. Luis Rodriguez-Saona, to work out your individualized plan for earning your degree.
