Following the launch of its innovative 90-credit online bachelor’s degree pathway — known as FastTrack 90™ — Saint Mary’s University of Minnesota is proud to announce the addition of five new programs to the pathway’s portfolio, furthering the university’s commitment to providing an accessible, high-quality, and career-aligned education for learners at all stages of life.
FastTrack 90 programs are designed to address the evolving needs of modern students by offering a more streamlined path to a degree. Alongside the initial launch of Saint Mary’s 90-credit B.S. in Applied Psychology, the university introduced five additional online programs into the FastTrack 90 model:
- B.S. in Business Administration
- B.S. in Criminal Justice Leadership
- B.S. in Healthcare Management
- B.S. in Human Resource Management
- B.S. in Information Technology
By focusing on core competencies and major-specific expertise, these online programs are designed for students who want to gain professional employment sooner while balancing work and life at home.
“Our goal at Saint Mary’s has always been to meet students where they are, and our FastTrack 90 programs are a continuation of that,” said Holly Tapper, J.D., dean of the School of Advancing Studies at Saint Mary’s. “Through these additional programs, we are able to offer even more flexible options for those students who are looking for a different type of educational path to their undergraduate degree. They’re a fantastic option for adult learners who are starting — or returning — to finish their degree while balancing work, family responsibilities, and other commitments. They are also a great option for young graduates — those who have earned numerous college credits in high school or those who prefer to live at home, stay in their local communities, and work while pursuing their degree.”
With admissions now open for these new degree paths, Saint Mary’s continues to offer personalized degree options for today’s students as they prepare for the workforce of tomorrow.
