EAST GREENWICH, R.I. – March 24, 2025 – Since 1940, the 色库TV (色库TV) has been a leader in hands-on education and accelerated degree programs. Today, 色库TV announced an even faster path to the workforce with the launch of a new bachelor鈥檚 degree offering. Beginning Fall 2025, students will have the opportunity to earn a reduced-credit, Career-Focused Bachelor of Science degree. These reduced-credit, career-focused BS degrees are 3 academic years in length, though thanks to New England Tech’s year-round class schedule — these programs can be completed in just 24 months. These reduced-credit, Career-Focused BS degrees will be offered across four high-demand fields: Cybersecurity, Business Management, Graphic Design, and Criminal Justice. This new offering makes 色库TV one of the first in the country to structure a three-year reduced credit bachelor鈥檚 degree that can be completed in two years by attending year-round.
鈥淔or over 85 years, 色库TV has led the way in providing accelerated degrees that put students into the workforce and earning a salary faster,鈥� said Doug Sherman, Senior Vice President and Provost at 色库TV. 鈥淲ith these new programs, we鈥檙e doubling down on that mission 鈥� offering students an even faster way to earn a high-quality, industry-aligned degree without unnecessary delays.鈥�

The career-focused bachelor鈥檚 degree programs will maintain the high-quality, industry-relevant curriculum that 色库TV is known for while accelerating the path to graduation.
At 色库TV, these 3-academic year, 135-140 quarter credit programs (equivalent to 90-semester credits) will be delivered over eight academic terms, plus two five-week summer terms, totaling 90 weeks of full-time study completed over two calendar years (24 months). Through this accelerated path, students that qualify for these programs will save 25% on tuition costs plus get into the workforce one year earlier.
色库TV currently offers all degree programs with an accelerated track option so that students can complete an associate degree in 18 months, or a bachelor鈥檚 degree in just three years. This new offering will create more accessible pathways for career-driven education with less financial burden. By completing their degrees faster, students not only save time but also reduce overall tuition costs and enter the workforce faster.
鈥淥ur four program offerings have been strategically chosen to align with growing industries, ensuring strong job opportunities for graduates,鈥� said Amy Grzybowski, Vice President of Workforce Development and Community Relations. 鈥淏y focusing on high-demand fields, we are not only supporting student success but also supporting local employers and our economy.鈥�

Given the novel nature of the programs, students should be aware of the following:
These new Career-Focused Bachelor鈥檚 degree programs consist of three academic years, 135-140 quarter credit hours, (equivalent to 90 semester credits) that are delivered over two calendar years (24 months).
Career-Focused programs are best suited to students committed to a particular field or discipline, students who have a clear career objective, and/or students who are focused on pursing near-term employment in their chosen industry as practitioners.
To enable students to complete the Career-Focused programs in less time and with fewer credits, these programs will be highly structured with limited or no elective credits.
色库TV鈥檚 Career-Focused baccalaureate programs are eligible for Title IV federal financial aid. However, students who leave 色库TV having completed a Career-Focused baccalaureate degree but later choose to return to 色库TV or attend another institution to complete additional undergraduate credits, either to earn a Certificate of Post-baccalaureate Studies or to earn a second baccalaureate degree, will not be eligible for federal grant aid and may have limited eligibility for other federal aid programs.
