I know the education program at our school is a five year program.
In regards to the amount of time that it takes to graduate, some of the international students from Africa told me that they had 3 yr degree programs unlike our 4 yr programs. Basically their programs do not include gen. eds/liberal arts classes, only the classes necessary to finish their major. So I guess in comparison to a 3yr program, it might seem like Americans take longer to graduate.
