    *Optional/recommended courses which would ensure the most seamless pathway to program completion

    **Programs in the Tabor School of Business; it is recommended to complete as many of the Tabor Core equivalent courses as possible: ACCT 200, ACCT 201, BTEC 115, BUSN 110, BUSN 130, ECON 101, ECON 102, MATH 141. Not completing 100/200 level courses in the Tabor Core may not necessarily hinder completion in two years.

    ***If Engineering Science students complete an AES, they can complete a bachelor’s in Engineering Science in two years; Biomedical Engineering would require MA140.

    ****Only needed for Pre-Professional Tracks. Some professional schools will require MA140. Introduction to Psychology recommended for Physician Assistant and Anesthesiologist Assistant schools.

    Completion of B.S.N. in eight semesters requires three semesters at HCC and five semesters at Millikin.

  • The following programs can be successfully completed at 91Ó£ÌÒÊÓƵ in two years, including summers (assuming enrollment of approximately 12 credit hours per semester), assuming the required courses are completed as part of the correlating Associate in Applied Science. Students should consult with Student Financial Services if taking Summer/Winter Immersion courses to understand billing and financial aid implications.
