Overview
Accelerated pathways at Logan include early college credit, 3+3 partnerships, and dual enrollment through the Collegiate School of Medicine and Bioscience. If you want to move through your education faster, these options help you earn credit early and step into your program sooner. Each pathway works differently, so you can find the one that fits.
Logan's accelerated pathways let you bank college credit early, overlap your undergraduate and doctoral years, or move through science prerequisites at a faster pace.
Ways to Accelerate
- FAST (Flexible Accelerated Science Track) — Complete a full academic year of science credit in one 15-week trimester
- Early College Credit Program (ECCP) — Qualified high school juniors and seniors earn 100- or 200-level college credit before graduating
- 3+3 Partnerships — Complete three years of undergraduate study at a partner school, then start Logan's Doctor of Chiropractic program in year four
- CSMB Dual Enrollment — St. Louis-area high schoolers take Logan-taught Physics and Chemistry courses for both high school and college credit
By the Numbers
- 8 credits — Each FAST science course (General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry or Physics)
- 1 year — Time saved through the 3+3 undergraduate-to-DC pathway
- 30 hours — Transferable college credit available through CSMB dual enrollment
- 50+ — Partner schools in the 3+3 program
Flexible Accelerated Science Track (FAST)
FAST helps you master basic science coursework at a faster pace, completing one full academic year of credit in a single 15-week trimester. Each trimester runs two 7-week sessions, and you can take up to two FAST courses per session. Available courses include General Chemistry (8 credits), Organic Chemistry (8 credits) and Physics (8 credits).
Logan University is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission. While credits generally transfer across U.S. institutions, some schools may accept them only as electives or require a course syllabus for review. Contact your institution of interest to confirm its transfer credit policy before enrolling.
Early College Credit Program (ECCP)
Qualified high school juniors and seniors can earn 100- or 200-level college credit now through Logan's Early College Credit Program. Contact Admissions to talk with an Success Coach about which courses best fit your background, interests and goals.
3+3 Partnerships
Complete three years of undergraduate study at one of Logan's 50+ partner schools, then spend your fourth year at Logan in the Doctor of Chiropractic program. After your first year of doctoral study, you'll earn your bachelor's degree from your original school — shortening your combined path to both degrees by a year.
