How much years do you need to go college become a gymnast?

There's no specific college degree required to become a gymnast. Most gymnasts who compete at the elite level (Olympics, etc.) begin training at a very young age and don't pursue a college degree until after their competitive career is over, if at all.

However, if you want to be a *gymnastics coach* after your competitive career, or work in a related field like sports medicine or physical therapy, then you would need to attend college and obtain a relevant degree (e.g., Kinesiology, Exercise Science, Physical Therapy). The number of years for these degrees varies, typically ranging from 4 to 6 years depending on the program and whether you pursue a master's degree.
