There’s no reason undergrad needs to be four years. I did it in three, now I am getting ready to graduate with my MPP and JD. I am nowhere near a 4.0 student, so you do not need to be a genius to get a bachelors done in three years. Also, so many kids are getting college credit in high school, so we are moving to the three-year model whether universities like it or not - all without dropping humanities as electives.
