Accelerated Degree Option
Entrepreneurship provides a degree completion (accelerated format) option through the College’s Online Campus, allowing students to complete the degree in just 16 months. This accelerated degree completion program provides students with the ability to apply their previous learning towards earning this associate’s degree. This program is ideal for students who have earned and learned through previously completed college credits, on-the-job training and life experiences, military credits, or technical training or certification.
To be eligible for this accelerated format, students are required to have obtained a minimum of 15 additional credits in technical electives through prior learning and experience. The number of credits awarded is determined through an official evaluation.
