Taking two courses per module makes it possible to earn thirty credits in one calendar year. Students are able to complete a full time degree in half the time it would normally take through evening study. The curriculum of the Accelerated Degree Program, while grounded in the liberal arts, recognizes the fact that most students enrolled in the program are already engaged in careers or have specific life goals in mind. Programs are designed to build on the knowledge and experience of our students. Schedules are flexible, classes are small of twenty five people or less.
Faculty interact closely with students and are sensitive to special needs.
The Accelerated Degree Program provides an attractive and supportive means for adults to re-enter the educational system.

The 1996-97 academic year marked the highest number of students and enrollments in the history of the program. Registration A student may register until the Friday before the first day of class.
