Wesleyan University offers a three-year bachelor's degree

Marketplace:

Kai Ryssdal: There was an item in the Washington Post last week that piqued our interest. The president of an elite private college in Connecticut said he's looking for ways to make school cheaper and let students graduate in less time.

The school is Wesleyan University. The president, Michael Roth, is also an alum. Back in the day, he got through in three years to save his parents some money. And with tuition where it is now, two fewer semesters can mean even bigger savings.

Michael Roth, good to have you with us.

Michael Roth: Nice to be here.

Ryssdal: How's this going to work? Do you just double up on courses and work in the summertime?
