Peoria, IL, Sept. 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bradley University is making higher education more accessible, affordable, and flexible with the launch of new three-year degree tracks available across all five colleges.
Beginning this fall, undergraduate students enrolled in select programs can choose an accelerated path to graduation by working closely with their academic advisor and utilizing expanded summer and January term offerings. By participating in this accelerated track, students can save on costs like living expenses and fees, and enter the workforce a year earlier.
The programs available span all five colleges, including majors like Civil Engineering, Marketing, Sports Communication, and Early Childhood Education.
“These new tracks allow students to save both time and cost while still receiving a comprehensive Bradley education,” said Bradley President James Shadid. “It’s another example of how we are innovating to meet the needs of today’s students while preparing them for success beyond graduation.”
Interim Provost Dan Moon added, “This initiative reflects the dedication of our faculty and staff to provide creative academic solutions. By offering these accelerated pathways, we are empowering students with more options to design their Bradley experience.”
