SAN FRANCISCO — 91ɬ�� will launch a three-year Bachelor of Science in Business in Fall 2026, shortening the path to a bachelor degree by a year and saving students a year worth of tuition. The 90-credit program is one of the first three-year bachelor degrees offered by a California university.

91ɬ�� new three-year program does not replace the four-year option, but it allows students a shorter path to a bachelor degree, saving both time and tuition. As the degree requires 25% fewer credits, it will cost 25% less. Students can also pair the three-year degree with a master and finish both in four years.

“Our intent is to extend this option across every discipline we serve,” said Edward Roekaert, 91ɬ�� Executive Vice President and Provost. “Business is the first. Psychology, accounting, law, and emerging technologies will follow.”

Brent White, President of 91ɬ��, said the new model reflects both changing student needs and international norms in higher education.

“In much of the world, three-year bachelor degrees are already standard,” White said. “The United States has remained tied to a four-year model that increases both the time and cost required to earn a degree. Students today are looking for affordable and faster pathways into careers and graduate education. This program responds to these needs while maintaining academic quality.”

The three-year program will be offered online as well as hybrid, with on-ground components in San Francisco.
