Full-Time Accelerated Pace
The School of Accelerated Degree Programs academic year consists of four 12-week terms with 13 cluster meetings per term. Students normally enroll in one cluster per quarter, earning nine credit hours in most degree programs. ADP also offers six credit hour clusters, and single courses in either the classroom and/or online format. Occasionally, ADP offers single courses with a day semester program department prefix which may be taken in the quarter program format in lieu of a course with a quarter program department prefix (prefix beginning with “I”). New students are admitted at the beginning of each term, and may pursue a full-time academic program by attending all four terms during the year.
In this manner, students make rapid progress toward degree completion while still fulfilling professional and personal responsibilities.
