Flexibility of Carthage's SPS Programs Flexibility Transfer Between Programs Day, evening, and accelerated programs share the same curriculum, the same majors, and lead to the same degree. Students, therefore, may transfer between programs. Depending on their field of study, SPS students may select the number of courses they wish to take per year, from one to nine, thereby progressing at their own speed. For example, a student entering SPS with junior standing may graduate in as few as two years by taking accelerated evening and weekend classes. Accelerated or Conventional Classes Conventional semesters are 14 weeks, while accelerated sessions are five weeks.
Classes typically meet once a week.
Diverse Courses Students enrolled in either the accelerated or conventional program may select from a wide variety of courses. Many accelerated programs offered by other colleges do not offer a choice of courses. Maintained by Lynn Dahl. Last modified on August 13, 1999.
