Accelerated College Degree Program Survey

GENERAL:

Before beginning with this survey, please indicate your degree of familiarity with accelerated degree completion programs. I define these as bachelor's degree programs that are usually marketed as those completed in about eighteen months versus a traditional four-year college degree program. Typically, these programs meet weekly in four to seven week "modules" with few breaks. Accelerated programs may also use a form of prior learning assessment or "life learning papers" which offer credit for life experience. (Note that both programs ultimately require the same number of credit hours to graduate, normally 120)
