Three-Year Bachelor's Degree

If you’re ready to move faster, Hartwick offers a Three-Year Bachelor’s Degree Program. It’s the full Hartwick experience in three-quarters the time and at three-quarters the cost.

Hartwick’s Three-Year Bachelor’s Degree Program is a unique and exciting opportunity allowing qualified students to benefit from our strong liberal arts education and special experiential learning opportunities. This program dramatically reduces the cost of a private college education. Students in the program can take advantage of every opportunity offered in our traditional four-year program.

You can earn a Hartwick degree, and enjoy every aspect of campus life, with three years of study. No summer coursework is required, so you can work, intern, or travel in the summers (one exception: Nursing does require two summer courses). There is no online component. All courses are taught by Hartwick faculty. You take on a larger course load in each of your six semesters, pursue J Term courses on and off campus each January, and work closely with special program advisors to stay on track.

Hartwick’s innovative experiential learning opportunities like international off-campus and study-abroad programs, January Term, student-faculty research, local, national, and international internships, and job-shadowing are all exciting opportunities for all students. Co-curricular cornerstones including residential life, student programming, and athletics complete the richness of the student experience.

For motivated students seeking a well-rounded education, Hartwick’s Three-Year Bachelor’s Degree Program is an affordable alternative to achieve success.
