3 year programs

These programs allow students to fast-track their studies after admission and earn a bachelor's degree in three years or fewer while participating in the same high-quality educational experience of a 4-year option. Students should talk to their academic advisor to get started.

Accelerated master's

Each program has requirements students must meet to be eligible for consideration. Acceptance to the graduate program requires a separate application.

Interested students can learn about eligibility requirements and how to apply.
