Three-year degree
Bluffton’s three-year bachelor’s degree program provides high achieving students with
a quality education in a condensed period of time and at a lower cost. Students in
this program can take advantage of opportunities available to all Bluffton students,
including internships, practicums and student life activities. By carrying a larger
course load and taking classes in the summer while balancing other leadership and
personal responsibilities, you will be prepared for the academic rigor of top-level
graduate programs. Students accepted into the three year bachelor’s degree program
must declare their major before beginning classes and take approximately 18 hours
per semester for three years and additional courses in the summer.
Application deadline:
To be considered for the three-year program, you must complete the admission process by March 1, deposit by April 1 and attend the first orientation and course registration session.

If you decide to change your major, to stop following the plan, or for any reason determine that you want to slow down, you can easily transition into the traditional, four-year program.
