What is a three-year applied bachelor’s degree?

Unlike accelerated degrees, where students graduate early by taking classes year-round, students in the three-year applied bachelor’s degree program carry a regular semester load of courses during the fall and spring semesters for a total of 90 credits over three years (six semesters) compared to 120 credits over four years (eight semesters). The 90-credit format streamlines general education requirements, focusing on the major’s essential courses and core requirements.

Rivier also offers a four-year (120 credit) bachelor’s degree in Artificial Intelligence. Students enrolled in a three-year applied bachelor’s degree program may switch to the four-year bachelor’s degree program.
