UMassD in Three

UMassD in Three is an advising track to help you graduate in three years instead of four—saving you time and costs and allowing you to enter graduate school or begin your career a year early. 

You’ll complete the same number of credits and the same course work at an accelerated pace, completing 6 classes (18 credits) during your fall and spring semesters and taking online courses during your intersession and summer breaks. 

Is UMassD in Three right for you? 

This advising track could be a good fit if you: 

• are highly motivated and have specific career goals 
• have a strong academic background 
• received early college credit such as AP credits 
• are willing to carry a heavier course load   

You should take into consideration that because you’ll be completing your degree at an accelerated pace, you might not have the time to commit to other opportunities available to you, such as study abroad or extracurriculars.
