For students in nearly every major, Grace College is proud to offer a 3-year accelerated bachelor degree option. You can also get your bachelor's and master's degree combined in four years. As a student, you’ll benefit not only academically because of shorter, more intensive learning environments, but you’ll also be in a better financial position after earning your degree with our accelerated degree programs.
With our bachelor’s and master’s degree programs, you can graduate with two degrees in the same amount of time it takes others to graduate with one, all while experiencing the joys of residential college life.
Though Grace is a four-year liberal arts college, academically aggressive students can take advantage of an accelerated three-year bachelor’s degree option, significantly reducing the cost of a college education. Through the three-year bachelor’s degree, you can get into the workplace sooner, save money, and still experience everything Grace offers.
Because you will be taking both undergraduate and graduate classes simultaneously, you can use your undergraduate financial aid towards your master’s degree.
You can combine nearly any bachelor’s degree with our selection of master’s degrees: M.S. in Athletic Administration, M.S. in Nonprofit Management, M.S. in Higher Education, MBA, and M.A. in Ministry Studies. You can also combine several bachelor’s degrees with our residential seminary master’s programs: M.A. in Local Church Ministry, M.A. in Intercultural Studies, and M.Div. in Pastoral or Exegetical Studies.
With our accelerated degree programs, you’ll do this by taking at least 18 credit hours per semester and completing 6 online credits during the summer. Please note: Students who are not admitted to Grace under normal admission standards and/or who do not maintain a 3.0 GPA will not be able to register for more than eight credits per session and will, therefore, be ineligible to participate in the accelerated program.
