You can take more classes each semester. Even taking one additional class each semester can take a year off
time you will spend in school. You will have to make time for an additional class each semester, but you'll finish faster. When you plan your classes, schedule a mixture of subjects you find easy with more difficult courses. This way, you won't end up with all
subjects you find difficult at
end of your program.
Some online universities don't require students take general education classes. Your program will focus entirely on your field of study. Often, this structure results in a shorter time spent earning

program to make sure
credits are transferable.
Saturday Scholars Programs are offered at many large universities. Students entering this program should hold an Associates degree before applying to
program. You travel to
university on Saturdays, usually from eight in
morning until five in
evening. These programs allow you to finish your degree in two years of Saturdays.
Self paced programs are offered through some online colleges. These classes can be started at any time and finished at your own pace. You can work through
material more quickly than is possible in
typical college semester. Quite a few of these programs set a minimum time you must take
course. Usually they require a six week minimum time frame for completion.
