Mount Mary Launches Wisconsin’s First Reduced-Credit Bachelor’s Degree Programs
August 19, 2025 (MILWAUKEE) Mount Mary University is leading the way in higher education innovation with the launch of a groundbreaking reduced-credit bachelor’s degree program—the first of its kind in the state of Wisconsin.
[inarticled]Beginning in spring 2026, students can earn a bachelor’s degree in as few as three years through streamlined options that require just 95 credits, compared to the traditional 120-credit pathway. The initial pilot includes Cybersecurity and Digital Marketing, offered in partnership with the RIZE Consortium.
“Reduced-credit majors are designed for students who want a shorter, three-year college experience, allowing them to enter the workforce sooner,” said Dr. Kristen Carioti, Professor and Dean of the MMU School of Arts and Sciences. “Depending on the program, they can complete a bachelor’s degree faster, with fewer required credits.”
Mount Mary’s forward-thinking approach offers students the ability to graduate faster, spend less and start their careers sooner—all while receiving the same personalized, mission-driven education the university is known for.
For more information about the reduced credit programs available at Mount Mary University, please contact Dr. Marmy Clason, Mount Mary University Chair of the Business, Communication & Technology Division, at clasonm@mtmary.edu, or visit mtmary.edu/fast.
