Quick stupid question

[Mithrandir]

If a school states that it requires a 4-year degree (nosm an uwo), do they mean the equivalent of a normally four year degree or do they mean they want to see 4 full years of courses. For example if I'm doing a second ug and because of advanced standing can do it in 2 or 3 years does it still count as a "4-year" degree. I ask because uwo changed there requirements from an honours degree to a 4 year degree.

Ask them directly and let us know.

for NOSM, if it's a second degree, as long as the university awards a new degree that is normally a 4 year degree then it's ok (or 3 year for mature students). UWO requires an equivalent of a 4 year degree but it can be less than that with transfer credits, as long as it's at least 2 full-time years (5 courses per semester) and you satisfy course level requirements.

yeah that change was because what an honours degree actually was confused pretty much everyone

 

For your second degree western will let you complete it in less than 4 years if transfer credits are being used. I do however ALWAYS recommend contacting the school to make sure they know exactly what you are doing and can point out any flaws.
