So that minimum BA/BS is 4 years in USA whereas 3 years in UK ! Extra year for major branch unrelated courses are worth or not ?

Arzu Durukan

According to me, the unrelated courses should be removed, 3 years is enough for BS.

Thnx Prof.A.Durukan, also in my opinion students have to know quite well their specific branch rather than other unrelated knowledge.
