Accelerated Studies/Fast Track Your Degree

Students can fast-track their undergraduate degrees by taking advantage of accelerated courses (AC). AC courses meet for seven weeks and allow students to complete two courses within the same timeslot for one complete semester. Students can also fast track their degree by taking online courses; registering for 18 credits a semester; and enrolling in summer and winter intersessions. Another option to fast is earning college credits for prior learning experience (CPL), which saves time and money. Credit for Prior Learning (CPL) can be earned by meeting requirements on standardized test exams; department challenge exams; and/or portfolio development. All of the above must be relative to your degree of study.

Benefits to Fast Track:

  • Cost Effective
  • Fit Your Busy Schedule
  • Flexible Course Scheduling
  • Tailored for Working Professionals
  • Increase Your Salary Potential
