For Pete's sake. A 90 semester hour Bachelor degree isn't "accelerated", because it's not faster, it's just less.

Accelerated would be if students finished in three years by attending three semesters per year—as university students should have been doing for the last fifty years at least anyway, since it's not like this is still the Great Depression where they have to go home in the summer to help out on the farm.
