Examples of Fast Track vs. Career Track
FAST TRACK
Students set their own individual schedules, determined in part by their foundation course status, desired electives, and summer session attendance. Below is just one way a student could complete the program two classes at a time. This example presumes a fall start, all four foundation courses completed, attending both summer sessions, and taking entrepreneurship + management as electives.
