- This plan is designed for students who are highly motivated to graduate faster.
- This plan distributes the projects so that students complete five projects in each of the subscription periods 2 through 8. In the first subscription period, students complete four projects.
Note that this plan is only a guide, and students have the flexibility to change this plan depending on their interests and constraints.

Assumptions and Rationale:
- This plan only includes the BSBA major projects; if students need additional projects (or credit equivalents), they will need additional subscription periods.
- In most cases, this plan mingles projects from multiple areas in the same subscription period so that students get to work on a variety of projects.
- This plan is designed so that the technical projects from the same competency area are distributed across consecutive subscription periods; this is intended to help students because they only need to handle smaller chunks of technical competencies in each subscription period. In most subscription periods, technical projects are mixed with non-technical projects.
- This plan distributes the projects so that the total credits vary between 6.04 and 7.28 credits in each subscription period. The only exception is the first subscription period (4.16 credits), since students may need the first subscription period to get acclimatized to the flex BSBA degree and the project-based approach.
- Note that this plan is only a guide, and students have the flexibility to change this plan depending on their interests and constraints.

Assumptions and Rationale:
- This plan only includes the BSBA major projects; if students need additional projects (or credit equivalents), they will need additional subscription periods.
- In most cases, this plan mingles projects from multiple areas in the same subscription period so that students get to work on a variety of projects.
- This plan is designed so that the technical projects from the same competency area are distributed across consecutive subscription periods; this is intended to help students because they only need to handle smaller chunks of technical competencies in each subscription period. In most subscription periods, technical projects are mixed with non-technical projects.
- Seven subscription periods have only three projects each, and four have four projects each. In the first subscription period, students have only two projects, allowing them to get acclimatized to the flex BSBA degree and the project-based approach.
- Note that this plan is only a guide, and students have the flexibility to change this plan depending on their interests and constraints.

Assumptions and Rationale:
- This plan assumes that students transferred credits to satisfy projects in the following areas: Microeconomics (BAEF 100x &101x); Macroeconomics (BAEF 110x & 111x); Financial Accounting (BAEF 200x & 201x); Managerial Accounting (BAEF 210x, 211x, & 212x); Business Algebra (BAMA 100x, 101x, & 102x); and Business Statistics (BAMA 300x & 301x). Further, it is assumed that the student transferred four credits each for Business Algebra and Business Statistics areas; thus, they do not need to complete any projects in these areas.
- This plan only includes the BSBA major projects in the remaining areas; if students need additional projects (or credit equivalents), they will need additional subscription periods.
- In most cases, this plan mingles projects from multiple areas in the same subscription period so that students get to work on a variety of projects.
- This plan distributes the projects so that students complete four projects in each of the subscription periods except the fifth subscription period. Total number of credits that students take in each subscription period is either 7 or 8.
- Note that this plan is only a guide, and students have the flexibility to change this plan depending on their interests and constraints.
