Wesleyan University has announced a program that will enable students to graduate with a bachelor's degree in three years, joining a growing number of colleges offering the shorter path as a way to save students money. Some 20 colleges have started three-year programs since the economic downturn, according to the National Association of Independent Colleges and Universities. Wesleyan is among the most prominent. "This is a significant announcement because Wesleyan is a nationally highly respected university," said Terry Hartle, senior vice president of the American Council on Education. "It will certainly encourage many other colleges and universities to look at it."
