While you work full time with a family at home, earning a degree from a traditional four year college is nearly impossible. ASU is finally stepping up their 21st century game. By adding shorter semesters, students can now earn their degree in almost half the time.
In addition to catering to the needs of the working student, an accelerated program encourages more participation from the new generation of learners. These students, such as myself, find it hard to wait thirty seconds for a computer to start up, let alone fifteen weeks to earn a grade in a course.
Concerned parties like HappyTexan believe that shortening of classes will compromise the programs. I feel that the new classes may require more work to accommodate a shorter timeframe, but dedication is what gets you a degree.
I have to give a hand to SculptorDad. Seeing someone use word "creditability" made ME laugh and want to leave a comment. He brings a few good points, "same course, same amount of hours, just concentrated..." So, for those who are willing to work harder, why not reward them with a shorter course?
