If you don't use CLEP/DSST, etc a traditional degree in the US takes 4 years. But since TESU offers courses all year round that start every month. It wouldn't be that difficult to graduate in 3 years at TESU. If you really took a full load everytime year round you could do it in 2 years. TESU (and all of the big 3) are schools geared towards adults and so most of their students have some prior credits prior to enrolling even if they follow the traditional route. Very few students would take 100% of their courses at TESU, EC, COSC.
But outside of the big 3, an average college degree in the US takes 4 years. A bachelors degree is sometimes called "a four year degree" the irony is that only about one-third of students actually finish in 4 years. Many take even longer due to changing a major, course availability, and more.
