Accelerated Business

Finish Your Degree Faster—Launch Your Career Sooner

Earn your bachelor's degree in as little as three years, or complete your bachelor's and master's through an accelerated four-year or five-year pathway. 

Working with your academic advisor, you'll create a personalized academic plan that fulfills all degree requirements on an accelerated timeline. By maximizing credits, reducing time to graduation, and entering the workforce sooner, accelerated programs can provide significant cost savings.

Why Choose an Accelerated Business Program?

  • Maximize credits.
    Florida Tech’s flat-rate undergraduate tuition allows full-time students to take up to 18 or 19 credits per semester at no additional tuition cost. Accelerated programs help you make the most of this opportunity and progress toward graduation faster.
  • Maintain momentum.
    Summer courses offered online provide flexibility and may cost less than traditional on-campus tuition, helping you stay on track year-round.
  • Start your career sooner.
    Graduating earlier can reduce housing and meal expenses while allowing you to begin earning in your chosen profession sooner.

Actual savings vary by student. For current tuition and fee information, please visit the tuition and fees page.
