Fast Track business degree

The Fast Track option offers evening courses, flexible scheduling and open program entry dates. The courses are the same as those taken in a traditional degree. The unique format and closer associations with fellow students and teachers make the difference.

Program highlights

To meet the needs of adult learners, the Fast Track program offers

• Completion of the Associate in Science – Business emphasis, in two years.
• Flexible program entry—enroll almost any time during the year, with five weeks or less until another course begins.
• Every course meets during the evening.
• Option to mix Fast Track courses with other college offerings.
• A strong sense of community in the classroom, as instructors and students get to know each other better.
• Predetermined meeting times to plan courses in conjunction with career and family responsibilities.
• Complete one or two courses every five weeks.
• Breaks each year in spring and at the holidays.

Course format

The courses are offered in three five-week sessions within each fall and spring semester. They meet two nights per week. The structure of the scheduling also often leads to natural student cohorts who support each other and collaborate outside of class. Please be aware that procrastination is not an option in a Fast Track Class. Due to the five-week format, attendance is required at all class sessions.

Flexibility

With the Fast Track schedule, if you need to "stop out" for personal or work related reasons, an entire semester is not lost. Students can choose to complete the program at a slower pace by taking just one course whenever it better meets their scheduling. Another option is to mix courses offered as part of the Fast Track program with other college offerings.

Curriculum

The Fast Track Degree program offers a strong foundation of business courses as well as general education courses traditionally required in bachelor's degree programs.
