Prospective Students
Inclement Weather Policy
A special opportunity for motivated students to complete their undergraduate degree programs in less time than the traditional four-year programs. This program reduces costs for students who have a clear idea of their educational path beyond the Mount and wish to enter graduate or professional school more quickly than is possible with a traditional 4-year course of study. Students in this program can take advantage of the same co-curricular and community experiences that 4-year students enjoy.
Who Qualifies?
Any student who is admitted to the Mount and wishes to pursue the three-year program is eligible. Typically, the most successful students in the program will have a high school gpa of 3.2 or higher and be highly motivated.
How much will I save?
You can save $10K-$15K over the cost of the traditional 4 year program, but the real value is in how much more you’ll earn by entering the workforce a year earlier.
What Majors are Available?
Every major that the Mount offers has a three year degree option.
After acceptance, when do I have to decide on whether or not to choose the three-year option?
A decision does not have to be made until the middle of your freshman year.
Can a student switch to a 4-year program after beginning the 3-year option? What Majors are Available?
If the pacing of the more traditional 4-year program becomes a better fit for the student, then a student may make that change at any time.
How will I complete the degree?
Students in the three year program enroll during the traditional fall and spring semesters. Additionally, students will enroll in classes over two summer sessions.
**Note: A few majors require part of a third summer session**
Is this program right for me?
Our admissions staff can help guide you in your decision regarding the three-year option. The staff works closely with the deans and academic departments to ensure a quality academic experience. Contact Mount St. Mary’s University Admissions at  800-448-4347 or admission@msmary.edu
