The College of Natural Sciences Expedited Degree Program is a fresh new approach to your college education. Consider it.

The Plan

The Expedited Degree Plan is very simple. To qualify, have a minimum amount of AP, IB or college credit before enrolling in the College of Natural Sciences.

Take courses over three summers, beginning the summer before freshman year, and follow the prescribed plan during three full academic years.

That’s it. You graduate in three with a degree in one of six different fields—including chemistry, biochemistry, microbiology and genetics—and jet forward to medical school, a Ph.D. program, law school, a job in industry, a congressional internship, or a year in a distant, exotic land.

However you use it, it’s your year to spare, and your dreams to follow.
