| April 1999 Four Bear graduates Begun in summer 1995, Four Bear provides students a contract stating that UM will pick up the extra tab for those who cannot earn a degree within four years. In return, students agree to take 16 to 17 credits each semester and follow an adviser's recommendations in each of eight consecutive semesters. Four Bear came about in response to parental and student concerns about the spiraling costs of higher education and the increasing number of years students were taking to graduate. Reasons why students spend more than four years to earn a degree vary widely, from financial to motivational. Other students fail to meet graduation requirements in four years, however, because they are closed out of required courses. By signing up for Four Bear, students are assured registration in the courses they need. The 1999 Four Bear graduating class comprises students in 25 majors. Business has the most with 14 graduates. Psychology comes in next with nine graduates, and biology and elementary education rank third with six graduates each.
