[quote=Anonymous]Yes it is the new 6 for multiple reasons.

Colleges have made it particularly hard to secure classes each semester, many going on into summer or Fall to graduate. So that is considered 5 years. If the college is only offered in Spring, you need to wait longer. It sucks and it happens often.

Many STEM fields have co-op working programs. Some kids can do one and still graduate on time, but most do not. Some kids do co-ops yearly and graduate in 6. You do NOT pay for college tuition during that time though.

Some kids drop a semester, withdrawl from courses, decide to take less credits and work more, etc...

Other kids transfer from community college, but need 3 years instead of 2 to get thru all the requirements.

Many kids dual major and realize it usually takes longer.

3:2 and 4:1 BA/BS programs are more popular too.

Many kids change majors which adds requirements.

But you can still get done a regular BA or BS in 4 years, most of the time, if you stay on the same course and focus. [/quote]
