accelerated programs

Sped-up educational tracks

Accelerated programs are educational tracks that allow students to complete coursework faster than the standard timeline.

A student in an accelerated program might finish a degree in three years instead of four, or cover two years of material in one.

The term also applies to career training and professional development that compresses instruction: She enrolled in an accelerated nursing program.
