It is not advisable to enroll in this program, as it exposes you to 'awrat (private parts) unnecessarily. It is obligatory to lower the gaze and guard one's chastity. Hastening graduation is not considered a necessity. You can appoint someone or hire someone to serve your father. We appreciate your eagerness to serve your father and abide by the limits of Islamic law.
