Accelerated Program
Students who graduate from a two-year college with a major in business and at least a 3.50 grade point average are eligible to apply for the accelerated program which allows most students to complete the B.S./Business or B.B.A./Business in fourteen months.
The accelerated program recognizes that there are a number of exceptionally talented and motivated students who may progress toward their degree at a faster rate. The program utilizes the two summer periods which fall between the normal sophomore and senior years. By allowing the student to take an academic overload each term, a student who enters in June of Summer I may graduate in August of Summer II.
While the individual requirements depend on the work taken during the prior two years of lower division college, a general program for a
student who receives an associate degree in spring would follow the pattern of:
| Summer - three 4-credit courses |
12 credits |
| Fall - five 4-credit courses |
20 credits |
| Spring - five 4-credit courses |
20 credits |
| Summer - three 4-credit courses |
12 credits |
|
64 credits* |
The program is limited to a small number of qualified transfer students. In order to qualify, a student must:
- Apply for acceptance to the SUNYIT Office of Admissions.
- Graduate from a SUNY two-year college with a 3.50 grade point average.
- Request permission to enter the Accelerated Program. (Permission may be obtained by writing to the Dean, School of Business.)
- Maintain a 3.25 cumulative average while enrolled at SUNYIT.
A student who enters SUNYIT in the Accelerated Program may return to the
normal program at any time. Similarly, any student who enters under this
option, but does not maintain the required 3.25 average, will be
required to continue his or her course of study at the normal rate.
* Students who have 64 applicable credit hours can complete this program
in 60 hours. Students who do not enter on the Accelerated Program, but
have honor grades at SUNYIT, may accelerate their graduation by one
semester through summer study and overload scheduling.
