Mahesh’s Answer

If you solely focus on business major, I would say 5 ( 4 for bachelors and 1 for MS) as you can plan and get some credit hours that can count for your master's degree. If you don't want to pursue a master's degree, just 4.

I strongly recommend going for master's as the incremental time spent is well worth it

Sydney’s Answer

Between the pre-requisites for the business program and the business degree itself, it should take you about 4 years to get a business Bachelors degree.

Thank you comment icon Hi Yuliana, Typically business takes 4-5 years of school, but it depends a lot on your area of study and if you plan on just completing a Bachelors or if you want to pursue a Masters. Aian Torres Diaz

Sahel’s Answer

Hi Yuliana,

I grew up and lived in Australia, and recently moved to the United States. My business degree in Australia was only 3 years long, and is fully recognized by the US! So international degrees can be shorter than those in the US (which as mentioned by others on this thread are typically 4 years long).

Hope this helps!

Lisha’s Answer

There are so many different programs out there now that it probably depends on the program itself. I recommend aiming for the average number of years for that specific program you're interested in. For me I waited 5 years and worked in accounting for 2.5 years and finance for 2.5 years. In general, the more experience you have the more you will get out of the business school experience but you need to balance that out with potentially being older than your classmates. Some of my classmates had kids / families which made things a bit more difficult.
