4.5 years to do a bachelors degree? I did mine in 3, that's the standard time to do one in Britain.

It's supposed to take 4. 

Additionally US bachelors degrees are more broad.  You are required to take a lot more classes not directly related to your degree.

 

If your an english teacher your still expected to be above competent in subjects like science etc.  The thought being that a more broadly edjucated person is better at making broader decisions rather then being more narrow in thinking.

Conversely, there are technical colleges which specialize in training students in a single field of study in two (2) years.
