Accelerate

Earn a Transylvania degree in less time.

At Transylvania, we know that you worked hard in high school to ensure that you would be well-prepared for the rigors of our liberal arts education — and we want to respect that effort. 

Beginning in fall 2024, incoming students will have the option to complete a valuable Transylvania degree in a shorter time frame through Accelerate, our three-year degree plan. This option is intended for students who will graduate high school with a significant number of transferable college credits and who are willing to embrace a rigorous course load as an undergraduate.

Streamlined Success

By condensing the time required to earn a degree, Accelerate will supply students with earlier access to career and graduate opportunities, while potentially reducing the cost of earning a high‑quality Transylvania degree. You will earn a full Transylvania bachelor of arts degree and complete the same total number of courses as on a traditional four‑year path.  

Personalized Pathways

Motivated students will receive an individualized three‑year path to graduation that will maintain the rigor of a Transylvania degree while recognizing the college‑level work they have completed during their high school years — whether AP, IB or dual credit. 

Adaptable and Flexible

We understand that circumstances may change along the way — you may decide to add a second major or study abroad for a term. We’ll adapt accordingly, with scholarship and financial aid programs that will work with you whether you graduate in three years or decide you want to stay for a fourth year.
