Balance Life & EDUCATION

We are committed to your success.

When it comes to education, adult learners have different concerns than traditional students. You are balancing a job, family, career aspirations and other responsibilities. You have dreams, but you also need to manage the day by day. You don't have time to waste. That's where the Accelerated Associate of Arts and Sciences Degree comes in.

Get Ready to Rise

Workability is Key

The Accelerated Associate of Arts and Sciences Degree is exactly what it says it is: accelerated. All courses follow a 7-week format and are guaranteed online. Accelerated courses are more workable, because you can focus on fewer courses at a time, an ideal option for working adults who want to get ahead.

7-Week Courses

All courses are accelerated and available online.

60 credits

Typically fulfills the 60 general education credits required for a bachelor's degree, which puts you halfway to a bachelor's degree.

Area of Emphasis

Choose or customize an area of emphasis that excites you and helps you fastforward to your future career goals.

Get Credit for Prior Learning

What do we mean by prior learning? Prior learning can be any knowledge or abilities that you have gained outside of formal higher education. Any skills acquired through work, military, technical training or other experiences may be recognized and applied toward the required credits. Ask Anne for an unofficial credit evaluation to learn where you stand with prior learning.

Already Have an Associate of Applied Science Degree?

If you already have an Associate of Applied Science Degree from a regionally accredited technical college, you might be able to transfer as a junior and continue towards a degree with accelerated courses. Contact Anne for a credit evaluation.

You can enroll in the Accelerated Degree Program at any time during the year and will start taking classes during the first available semester — January, Fall, Spring or Summer. 3-week courses are offered in January. During fall and spring, 7-week courses are the primary option with 14-week courses recommended as needed. In summer, 4-week, 6-week, 8-week and 10-week courses are offered. Each class is typically 3 credits.

Childcare Support
