One positive result of semester conversion is that the total number of credits required for a baccalaureate degree is being reduced and streamlined to permit a full-time student to complete a four-year degree in 4 years (or less if attending Summer Terms, getting advanced placement credit, and/or carrying extra course loads each semester).
A student who takes an average of 15-17 credit hours of required courses per semester for 8 semesters (excluding summers) should be able to complete any bachelor's degree program at KSU in four years.
