About the Model

Learn and Earn in 3 (LE3) is a reimagined undergraduate model for full-time working adults. Students earn their degree, B.S. in Organizational Leadership and Development, in 2.5-3 years while remaining employed full time, receiving course credit for time spent at work. All courses are related to workplace and leadership skills.

LE3 uses a focused quarter structure designed for depth and application:

• Academic courses (major and general education) run in 4-week blocks, with students taking one course at a time
• Each quarter also includes a 12-week Professional Skills Seminar focused on durable skills such as communication, teamwork, leadership, and self-advocacy
• Courses are fully virtual and blend asynchronous learning with one intentional live session per week

LE3 faculty are partners in student success, helping students connect learning to their professional lives and apply skills immediately at work.
