[quote=Anonymous]It is technically possible to graduate in as little as two years in 90% of the colleges in this country.  The only colleges that make early graduation more difficult are the elites.  If your child's goal is for a vocational-oriented degree and is mature enough to speed things up, spending as little time in college as possible is a very smart thing to do.  Community college credits, dual enrollment, and APs will almost always be honored by the vast majority of colleges. They have an extra incentive to do so because on average it takes 6+ years for someone to graduate from a public university and early graduates help make them look better. One difficulty will be getting into all the required courses on the timeframe your child needs because of limited offerings and preferences for upperclassmen.  The other will be whether that much focus and commitment is right for your child when their friends are sowing their oats.

On the other hand, if your child is an academic high achiever in high school, maybe they could be more ambitious in college. It is a luxury to be able to explore different fields and not have to worry about whether every class meets some job requirement. There's a reason why people who can afford four years take the time.
