Three-Year College Degrees Gain Traction in U.S. as Solution to Affordability Crisis

Three-Year College Degrees Gain Traction in U.S. as Solution to Affordability Crisis

Three-year bachelor's degree programs are gaining popularity across the U.S., with 26 states now hosting at least one college offering reduced-credit options. These programs allow students to complete their degrees with as few as 90 credit hours, shaving a year off the traditional 120-hour bachelor's degree. This acceleration is seen as a direct response to the escalating costs of higher education, with tuition and fees averaging $11,950 for in-state public schools and $45,000 for private nonprofits. The shift is partly enabled by a change in accreditation standards, with the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities being the first to approve reduced-credit programs in 2023, followed by other accreditors. While common in other countries, this model is a significant departure for the U.S. higher education system, which largely adopted the four-year format in the 19th century.

Seton Hall University has officially launched its Peace Corps Prep program, an undergraduate initiative designed to prepare students for careers in international development and service, including potential future service with the Peace Corps.
