HOW QUICKLY CAN I COMPLETE MY BACHELOR’S DEGREE AT UVA?

Many of our students are working adults who take classes on a part-time basis. Students average three years to complete the program, and they have some flexibility to manage their workloads. Certain BIS concentrations, such as Liberal Arts, allow students to accelerate that timeline. Due to the rigor of our degree programs, we recommend that students only pursue an accelerated schedule when they can devote a substantial amount of time each semester to their coursework. Students must complete the program within seven years of beginning with SCPS.

WHAT IF I’M NOT ELIGIBLE FOR EARLY ADMISSION?

All Germanna students are welcome to apply to UVA SCPS through regular admission, if they are not eligible for or interested in pursuing early admission.

WHERE DO UVA SCPS STUDENTS GO TO GRADUATE SCHOOL?

In recent years, our graduates have earned master’s, law and doctorate degrees from prestigious universities across Virginia and the country, including Columbia University, College of William & Mary, Georgetown, George Mason, James Madison, Syracuse, University of California at Berkeley, University of Virginia, and Virginia Tech.
