A survey conducted by Higher Education Strategy Associates has found that most Ontario university students prefer a four-year bachelor degree over a three-year one.
The Ministry of Colleges and Universities is currently considering changing the length of degree programs the three years, and offering more year-round and online options.
Over 850 students participated in the survey, and 64 per cent stated that they find the four-year degree to be more valuable. Students say they prefer the pace set by four-year degrees despite the financial advantages of three-year programs.
