Accelerated bachelor's in business (3 – 3 1/2 years)
Traditional Business program (4 years)
- Flexibility to change your concentration and pursue additional minors and certificates
- More time to explore internship opportunities and companies
Accelerated Business Degree Schedule
Our accelerated bachelor's in business enables you to complete your BSBA by the end of your third spring or summer term.
Like the 4-year degree option, you’ll need to complete 120 credits of course work to graduate. You’ll typically take 15-16 credits each fall and spring semester for three years. In addition, you’ll take 6-9 credits each summer over three summer sessions.
If you have prior credits (AP, IB, or transfer credits), you may apply them toward your business degree to reach your graduation goals sooner.
Accelerated Degree Path Available for All Concentrations
A business concentration helps you hone your academic interests into professional skills. As part of your accelerated business degree, you can choose from any of the 11 academic concentrations that the College of Business offers. Your choice of concentration does not impact your ability to complete your degree at the accelerated 3- to 3 1/2-year pace.
