The Best Online Universities With Accelerated Programs

The advancement of online learning options allows many working professionals to pursue a new career path. However, completing a four-year bachelor's degree program may not appeal to working adults. Many online universities are now offering accelerated degree paths that allow students with prior college degrees the opportunity to earn a second degree in a much shorter time.
  1. American Intercontinental University

    • American Intercontinental University (AIU) offers all of their bachelor's degree programs at an accelerated level.

Individuals who have earned partial college credits may still transfer their credits and make up the remaining general education courses. However, this approach will require more time than the traditional Take 2 schedule. The Take 2 bachelor's degree program can usually be completed in under two years. Students choose among degrees in criminal justice; business administration; information echnology; education; and design.

      Tuition costs for students entering AIU Online during the 2010 year are between $355 and $361 per credit hour. Financial aid such as loans and grants are available.
