Carroll3 Program
We know affordability is a major concern for students and their families. That’s why we’re always looking for ways to keep a Carroll education within reach. Our new Carroll3 Program provides you with an opportunity to complete your undergraduate degree in just three years. This selective program requires special approval for an accelerated course load of 20 credits per semester. Just eight credits are required to be completed outside of fall and spring semesters, which can be fulfilled through summer/winter courses or alternative methods of credit (i.e. AP, IB, dual enrollment credits). The Carroll3 Program is only available to students who are beginning in a fall start term.
Carroll3 Program Advantages
The Carroll3 Program offers a 25 percent savings on the net cost of an undergraduate
degree at Carroll University. This means less money borrowed in student loans and
an added year of earning potential that’s gained by completing college early.
There is no additional cost to Carroll3 Program students for taking extra credits
during the fall and spring semesters. The eight required credits to be completed outside
of fall and spring semester will be charged independently, however, those credits
can easily be covered by AP credits, college credit, etc. so most students won’t incur
any additional cost.
