The Three-Year Accelerated Program

The accelerated program has just celebrated its inaugural year. Highly selective, the program only accepts up to 16 students per year, placing them on the track to earn their Bachelor of Arts in three years. Students of the accelerated program study year round and will likely go on to enroll in medical, veterinarian, or other specialized schools.

 I knew I wanted to major in science, specifically                      

biomedical humanities. So why not take the fast track? I
get to shave off an entire year, which is nice when you think
about the long road ahead in medical school. Even in I
were to change my mind about becoming a doctor,
the biomedical humanities major can take me several
places. That was my dad's thinking as well. My mom,
however, didn't want me to enter the accelerated
program at first. She was worried it would be too hard,
but I knew I could get through it. I'm not saying it's
easy - of course not - but we wouldn't have signed up
for the program if we intended on slacking off. It wouldn't be
worth as much if it wasn't challenging. The biology course
that a majority of the accelerated program members
are taking this summer has six professors (even better
than the 11 to 1 ratio most Hiram classes have!). We
have six professors for three students! We basically get
tutored in each professor's specialty discipline during class

  time. The professors make this program worth it.
