Bachelor's degrees are 4 years in length. Most students take 4 years to complete them although it is not uncommon to finish in as little as 3 years or as many as 5.
The above is a general answer, but statistics from the College Board tell us that the average time to earn a bachelor's degree is 4.7 years (2008). So the trend is toward 5 years. Disturbingly, only 57% of those who start a 4 year degree finish within six years - so the above data does not count those who don't finish their degree.
Its actually hard to gauge because so many people are getting their bachelor's now that some schools out there are able to work around one's schedules more. The more privleged individuals who have their parents pay for mostly everything or who have studied in high school and receive scholarships usually get their bachelor's by age 22 and 23. Those who work a full time job and sometimes an extra part time job can take up to 6-8 years to complete their bachelor's because of their limited time and limited cashflow. So if one who started at age 18, the average age of these people is around 24-26. 25% of Americans have a Bachelor's degree. But because many can now acquire the BA more conveniently, the average age is harder to determine. An educated guess would be around 33.
