G'day All

It seems common for US airlines requiring a degree to require a '4 year' degree. I hope you all will pardon my ignorance, but is a standard pass bachelors degree, a BA or BSc for example, normally 4 years?

In Aus and I think NZ also, a BA or BSc or BEc or BBus etc is typically 3 years. A fourth year would normally be for an 'honours' year and research thesis.

Is this what the extra year is in the US? Alternatively, do any of you folks know what the extra subjects are? Do US bachelor degrees have more 'general studies' or would it be more core subjects? What makes up the year long difference between equivalant degrees?

Cheers

Tim
