Boston University College of Communication’s Post

I just graduated, and it only took me less than 2 years to get my Bachelor's. Here is the step-by-step process of how you can do it, too: If currently in high school: → Start by taking AP classes. Plenty of colleges will give you college credits for passing AP exams. If already in college: → You can test out general education or introductory classes. This will allow you to move into more advanced classes sooner. There are multiple ways to do this: - Talk to your counselor and have them give you a college-specific administered exam. - Do it via CLEP (college-level examination program), which measures your level of comprehension of introductory classes and then gives you credits. Other things that I've done that I think might be helpful: → Take more classes/credits per semester (15+) To be considered a full-time student, you need 12 credits, but you can take up to 21 credits a semester (at least in my school). → Take more classes online than in person  Online classes are so much easier and less time-consuming than in-person classes. Some of them only give you weekly assignments. → Take classes all year round. Most college students take classes in the fall and spring semesters, but you can also take classes during the winter and summer. Winter and summer classes are usually shorter (4 to 8 weeks) and cheaper. These are a few things that worked for ME. I'm happy to explain this further if needed. Other than that, signing off to enjoy my first summer out of school.

Ivy Tech’s Free Summer program is another example of how Ivy Tech Community College’s faculty, staff, chancellors, president, and trustees are leading in higher education for the benefit of Hoosier students and families, with the generous support of the Indiana General Assembly. Research finds students who earn college credit while in high school are more likely to enroll in college, stay enrolled in college until they graduate, and complete a credential or degree on time or early. Offering free summer courses is part of Ivy Tech’s commitment to increasing college going rates of young adults in Indiana. Last year, more than 4,000 high schoolers enrolled in free courses across the state. Indiana ranks first in the nation for students who are earning college credit in high school thanks to Ivy Tech. Our 19 campuses are working together to ensure more young people leave high school with a plan to earn industry-aligned credentials and degrees quickly and at a lower cost to them and their families.
