CAP - Carlow Accelerated Program
In 1988, the Carlow Accelerated Program (CAP) began offering evening classes Monday through Thursday.  CAP sessions meet one evening every week for eight consecutive weeks. Five CAP sessions are scheduled each year starting in January, March, May, August, and October.  The RN and BSN Fast-Track program is offered in an 18-month accelerated day format.

WEC - Carlow Weekend College
In 1978, Carlow went where few institutions of higher education had gone - accelerated classes especially designed for working adults.  Carlow Weekend College classes meet every other weekend (eight class sessions) over a 16-week period.  WEC classes meet on Friday evenings, Saturdays (morning or afternoon), or Sundays.  Three WEC sessions are offered during each year, starting in January, May, and August.

Online Courses
The Adult Degree Center offers many courses in Carlow's new online learning community.  Through the use of Blackboard, and E-learning hub utilized by many colleges and universities around the country, students may take courses at a distance in a consistent, user-friendly virtual community.
