Here’s one way of cutting college costs: get a degree in three years, instead of
four.
This fall, Hartwick College, a small liberal arts college in Oneonta, New York, will offer students the option of doing just that, at a savings of more than $40,000. In the college’s three-year degree program, students will complete the standard 120 credits, taking 18 credits in the fall, 4 in a January term and 18 in the spring. Students will be able to keep their summers free for internships or jobs.
Whether for a three-year degree or a four-year one, Hartwick’s tuition next year will be $32,550, 3.9% higher than the current year. Room and board will be about $9,000. “We anticipate a great deal of interest in an option that lets students get a top-quality education and save a whole year of tuition,” said Margaret Drugovich, president of Hartwick.
