Networking for employment opportunities among those in the cohort is common. Upon admission, students know the entire course sequence and are guaranteed that the courses will be offered in that sequence. Some programs are also offered off-site in various surrounding counties. A ccelerated Business The Accelerated Business Program allows students to obtain their bachelor of science degree in Business. The format has been created to accommodate the working adult and is designed to be completed in two years of intensive, Saturday-only sessions.
Students follow the traditional calendar of semesters.
Each semester is 15 weeks long and consists of two seven-week quarters with a week off between quarters. It is open to students who already have either an associate's degree or a minimum of 60 credits in a degree-track program at an accredited school, and who are proficient in mathematics and English at the basic undergraduate freshman level. A minimum 2.5 grade point average is required for acceptance into the program. Any applicants below that requirement will need departmental approval. Students can conveniently attend classes at our downtown Pittsburgh campus or at off-site centers in Butler or Westmoreland counties.
