IUK launches new three-year business degree

KOKOMO, Ind. — Indiana University Kokomo students can now fast track their future by earning a business degree in three years.

IU Kokomo will debut a three-year Bachelor of Science in Business degree program July 1, offering students an accelerated path to their careers.

“It’s the same highly respected IU degree, with the same curriculum and same classes, on a shortened timeline” said Chitti Govindarajalu, dean of the School of Business. “We expect many students to take advantage of this opportunity to begin their careers faster. If you look at the opportunity cost with the salary they make that first year, plus the tuition savings and the experience they gain, it’s a real benefit.”

Students will take an average of 18 credit hours per semester, and will map out their class schedules with assistance from their academic advisors.

Govindarajalu said the three-year degree works both for students who transfer in college credit from high school and those starting with no credits. There are also options for students who need to take additional math classes to achieve their degree in three years.

He added that participating students also will be eligible for the School of Business’s Four Plus One program, allowing them to go straight into the Master of Business Administration program, which would be completed in one additional year.

“In the time it would have taken them to earn a bachelor’s degree in a traditional program, they can complete both an undergraduate and graduate degree, making themselves even more marketable as they begin their careers,” Govindarajalu said.
