Our Lady of the Lake University is redefining the college experience by becoming the first university in Texas to offer accredited three-year bachelor’s degree pathways. Designed to help students graduate sooner, reduce educational costs, and enter the workforce or graduate school faster, these innovative programs provide a streamlined route to earning a high-quality OLLU degree.
Beginning with select undergraduate programs, students can complete their bachelor’s degree in as little as three years through pathways requiring 91–96 credit hours. The programs maintain OLLU’s rigorous academic standards while reducing excess elective requirements, allowing students to focus on the courses most relevant to their career goals.
The new degree model reflects OLLU’s ongoing commitment to innovation, affordability, and student success. By shortening time to graduation, students can reduce overall educational expenses and begin pursuing professional opportunities sooner. The initiative also aligns with OLLU’s mission to create accessible pathways to higher education and workforce readiness.
Students interested in learning more about OLLU’s three-year degree options can explore available programs and admission requirements through the university’s Three-Year Degree webpage.
