Average Graduating Age for College Seniors?

Hi folks, thinking ahead to college and just wondering what age do most seniors tend to be when they are on the brink of graduation?

Generally, students in the U.S. enter college at 18 years old and follow a four-year plan, which means they typically graduate when they're about 22 years old. It's important to remember, however, that everyone follows their own path. Some students might graduate a bit earlier if they enter college with a lot of AP or dual-enrollment credits that count towards their degree, or if they take additional courses over the summer. Others might graduate later if they change majors, take time off for internships or co-ops, study abroad for a semester or two, or need to retake courses to meet their program requirements.

Additional factors such as starting college later due to gap years, military service or work experience, as well as returning to school as a non-traditional student can also affect the age at graduation. So it can really vary based on individual circumstances. But all in all, the average age for college seniors to graduate is about 22 years old.
