Accelerated 32 Option: Students can choose between two accelerated pathways by pursuing undergraduate degrees in Health Science or Applied Exercise Science. These programs allow learners to start graduate studies during their fourth year, completing both bachelor's and master's degrees within five years total.
Traditional 42 Option: For those preferring a conventional four-year undergraduate experience before commencing graduate studies, Gannon offers this alternative through the same Health Science or Applied Exercise Science programs. This route particularly appeals to student-athletes or individuals who prefer a more gradual academic progression.
