Degree in 3 - Summers Free

Rowan University’s Degree in 3 program offers students a three-year, year-round degree pathway. The program allows students to earn free summer tuition, fees, and housing if they meet academic requirements. It also provides students with leadership opportunities, internships and/or research opportunities, and academic support workshops throughout students’ three years. 

Students who live on campus can save up to $27,000 (tuition, plus room and board) - roughly a 25% savings of what a degree would cost over a four-year period. Commuter students can save up to $14,000 (tuition) over the same period, realizing significant cost-savings.
