Accelerated Undergraduate and Graduate Programs
Mount Mary's accelerated programs are designed for students who would like to take courses in a concentrated format in the evenings.

The College offers four programs in the accelerated format -

• Business Administration (undergraduate) - prepares women for managerial positions and advanced education by developing skills in effective communication and logical problem solving. See a curriculum sheet.
  
• Business/Professional Communication (undergraduate) - emphasizes the combination of a business background with well-developed written, oral, and interpersonal communication skills. See a curriculum sheet.
  
• Liberal Studies (undergraduate with associate degree)- offers women who hold an associate degree the opportunity to complete a bachelor of arts degree. Within this degree-completion program, students complete courses in the sciences, humanities, and an area of concentration.
• Master of Business Administration (graduate) – open to men and women, the MBA combines advanced business skills with the College's historic commitment to social justice and an understanding of global dynamics.

Terms 1 & 2 are a subset of the Fall semester and Terms 3 & 4 are a subset of the Spring semester. For example, Term 1 credits + Term 2 credits = Fall semester credit total. To be considered part-time, graduate accelerated students cannot exceed five credits in a semester and undergraduate accelerated students cannot exceed 11 credits in a semester. To be considered full-time, graduate accelerated students need to be registered for six or more credits in a semester, but cannot exceed 12 credits and undergraduate accelerated student need to be registered for 12 or more credits in a semester, but cannot exceed 18 credits.
