Complete Your Education Goals Faster with Accelerated Programs & Courses
WCC’s accelerated programs and courses are designed for students seeking flexibility, juggling a demanding schedule, or wanting to make a career move right away. Most accelerated courses can be completed in a few short weeks and certificates can be earned in a single semester. New for Winter 2022 is an Accelerated Business Associate Degree that can be completed in 17 months!
By definition, courses within accelerated programs are consolidated into shorter periods than the traditional 15-week semester. That compressed workload means you will do more in less time. Some students thrive in this fast-paced, deadline-driven environment; others are better suited to a more traditional academic schedule. We suggest you speak with an academic advisor to find out if an accelerated program/course is the right fit based on your learning style and outside obligations.
