In order to accelerate progress toward the completion of a degree program, it is strongly recommended that semester option students attend the Summer session each academic year. Accelerated Class Option Established in 1997, this option is designed for the working adult to decrease the time needed to complete a bachelor's degree. Using a comprehensive pre-course preparation module and text, the student must complete extensive work prior to the first class meeting. The classes meet for five to eight class sessions of four hours per meeting. This format is ideal for the highly motivated, self-disciplined student who has a strong academic background and needs to expedite baccalaureate completion.
Attendance is required for all class sessions.
The accelerated option student may drop with a 100 percent refund through Friday of the first week of accelerated option class meetings. A descending scale for refunds does not exist in the accelerated option format. The student may withdraw without refund through the second week of class meetings. Admission Applicants must be 25 years of age or older. Students with less than 30 hours are encouraged to contact the University for admission procedures and an interview.
