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 classes 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 and focuses on the major’s essential courses and core requirements. Learn more about the three-year applied bachelor’s degree.
