The goal of an accelerated program is to get students out of school and into the workforce as quickly as possible. As prospective students begin choosing a program that is the right fit for them, the accelerated degree program option is often a consideration. This often means weighing the pros and cons of an accelerated degree program to make a decision.
1) In an accelerated degree program, students complete the same amount of courses and coursework in one to three years or sometimes less for a Bachelors degree, and courses in a Masters degree can be completed in one to two years for a Masters degree. Courses are continuous throughout the year, and many accelerated program courses are offered in 8 week terms rather than the longer semester.
2) The amount of time required to complete the courses more quickly can be a disadvantage. With families and full-time work positions, students in an accelerated degree program will find themselves with a full schedule and much less free time than students in a four-year program.
3) Not including online programs, more accelerated degree programs are incorporating blended course curriculum in order to complete the number of hours in less time. In these programs, half of the students time is spent in a classroom, and the other half is designed to be completed online with various activities, taped lectures, readings, discussion forums, and other types of activities.
Accelerated degree programs offer students the same education as a traditional degree program but are able to be completed in much less time. Weighing the pros and cons can help prospective students determine if these are the best programs for them.
