PLYMOUTH — Plymouth State University is one of the first four-year institutions in the United States to pilot an accredited, in-person 96-credit bachelor’s degree program. The New England Commission of Higher Education recently approved the university’s proposal to offer applied bachelor’s degrees in specific programs where students earn 96 credits in three years, rather than 120 credits over four years.

This shortened time horizon will offer flexibility for students and accelerate the pipeline for high-demand roles in the market. The programs also offer students the ability to seamlessly extend to a four-year, 120-credit program if they elect to.
