Students will meet with the program advisor or academic support coordinator to discuss whether an accelerated program is realistic and beneficial based on their life situation as well as academic and career goals.

• Students should visit with staff in the Office of Financial Aid for additional options and resources.
• Summer Financial Aid is available.
• Non-resident undergraduate summer base tuition is reduced by 30% compared to fall and spring.
• To declare intent, students must first be enrolled in one of the programs of study listed below, which allow for an accelerated degree option, and then complete the online Accelerated Programs Student Agreement.

While pursuing Accelerated Programs has many benefits, there are considerations.

• Participating students will make steady academic progress, complete their degree early, and be on their way to their next chapter in life.
• This provides the opportunity to enter a graduate or professional degree program or begin earning a professional salary earlier, potentially enhancing lifetime earnings.
• To graduate in three or three and a half years, students will need to invest in summer tuition, fees, and related expenses.
• Students have the opportunity to reduce their overall cost of attendance.
• While completing 120 credits within the shorter time frame, students may not have the opportunity to explore majors and add additional programs of study, such as minors or second majors.
• Many of the current Accelerated Programs allow for flexibility. If students change their major, an accelerated path may no longer work for them.
