Fins to the Finish Line

Finish your degree in less time.

What is Fins to the Finish Line?

Fins to the Finish Line (FFL) is an official replication of the City University of New York’s (CUNY) Accelerated Study in Academic Programs (ASAP), a nationally recognized initiative proven to increase graduation rates by supporting students to focus on being full-time students through financial, academic and personal support. ASAP programs across the country have shown that participating students significantly increase their completion rates and time to degree. For you it means you finish your degree in less time.

Students in these programs across the country finish their degrees faster — saving thousands in tuition, fees and living costs while reducing their overall student debt.
