When did it become the norm for students enrolling at a 4-year college/uni to take 6 years? Unis often don’t even present 4-year grad rates, and only dicuss 6-year grad, which seem to hover around 50% at state schools. When did this shift happen, and why?https://twitter.com/M_C_Klein/status/1072202205891977216 …
I changed my major three times, took about 21 credit-hours per semester, and graduated in 4 years. In the 80s, it was unthinkable to take longer. I don't understand this 6-year norm either.

Might have something to do with all of the students who go to college but shouldn’t. I believe Charles Murray thought that only students above a certain SAT score should go to college. These days anyone can get into a big state school. I think the acceptance rates are too high.

It’s simple mortgage-component inflation. Similar to homes - the more money you throw out there as loans the more people are not under immediate pressure to work within any financial limits. Prices and terms increase.

My experience mirrors yours, but my wife who finished nursing school in 2014, two years in a row had to take a specific class before moving to the next step in the ciricula, class wasnt offered that semester, they make you sign up for a bunch of BS, extending your time. Criminal.

Isn't an obvious component how much tuition costs have increased requiring students to work lots of hours on top of school thus taking longer to complete all credits?

A prolonging of adolescence and forgoing having to face the things that come with most adult lives: 9-5ers with commutes, taxes, and intimacy commitments

21 credit hours should be about 63 hours of course work a week if faculty at Columbia we’re following today’s accreditation standards. Maybe the standards were different back then, but still, many students these days have to work a part time job at least 10 hours a week
