Our Lady of the Lake University is launching a three-year bachelor’s degree program designed to help students graduate sooner, enter the workforce faster and spend less on tuition. The new program, called Lake Express, will begin next fall and allows students in select majors to complete a bachelor’s degree in six semesters without taking summer classes or interim terms.
Program Details
According to Dr. Alan Silva, OLLU’s provost and vice president of academic affairs, the program is part of the university’s broader effort to boost enrollment and better meet students’ needs. Lake Express will initially be available for four majors: psychology, social work, criminology and criminal justice, and childhood studies.
The university said the three-year pathway is expected to cut tuition costs by 25% compared with their traditional four-year degree. Some students, like Jamie Murillo, an OLLU sophomore, believe the shorter path could be a strong benefit, as many students are eager to finish their degrees and move on to their careers.
