The Professional Degree Program (PDP) (formerly The Accelerated University (TAU) is a model directed principally to meet the educational needs of non-traditional students. PDP gives students the flexibility to design their degree work to achieve personal, career, and life goals. Accelerated courses normally meet one evening per week for 3-4 hours, or in some cases for extended weekend sessions. Each semester is composed of two 8-week sessions in which students typically take two classes each eight weeks. This allows them to meet the standards of full-time status.
Professors for the Professional Degree Program consist of full-time QU faculty as well as adjunct instructors who bring practical expertise to the classroom setting.
The Professional Degree Program is a non-residential program designed to meet the educational needs of adult students wishing to complete a bachelor’s degree.

Using a variety of different delivery strategies, instruction is offered with the needs of the working adult in mind. The subject matter in PDP courses is the same as in their traditional equivalents. The uniqueness of PDP is in the delivery of the course content. Although accelerated learning is one of the primary delivery strategies used in PDP courses, it is not the only delivery strategy employed. Online and other forms of technology-enhanced courses are also incorporated into the curriculum as are weekend and short-term courses.
