Fast track degree / compressed degree


Explanation:
Fast-track degree is a very commonly used term, "Fast track" being a general expression for any sort of quick access route in work, study, etc.
"Compressed degree" is a more official term used by government bodies and the more high profile departments of universities..

For the sake of a term that is well known and more punchy, I would go for "Fast track".

Example sentence(s):
  • "The 'fast-track' degrees will be piloted at five universities"
  • " 'Compressed degree course' means a course determined to be a compressed degree course in accordance with paragraph (1A);..."
