Unless it has changed since my time, which admittedly is many years ago, but you come out with both a BTL and a secular degree from one of the colleges they have a program with — Towsons, UMBC, Hopkins, etc. Approximately 60 credits from yeshiva are transferred, and thus you only need to take 60 secular credits. Something like 32 need to be in your major. If you go to summer school as well, you can get your BA/BS in 2-3 years. NIRC restricts 1st year Bais medrash guys, but essentially you have your degree 4-5 years after graduating high school. In my time, very few guys went to Rowsons. Guys who were going for computers, accounting or law went to UMBC and guys who needed a science degree went to Hopkins. The state universities are much cheaper.
