As concerns about college affordability and student debt continue to rattle higher education, institutions are increasingly exploring accelerated degree pathways that allow students to reach their career goals more quickly and at a lower cost.
Grambling State University and Southern University Law Center announced Thursday a new 3+3 Accelerated Law Program that will allow eligible students to earn a bachelor’s degree and a law degree in six years, rather than the traditional seven. University leaders said the pathway is designed to reduce barriers to legal education by providing structured advising, early exposure to the legal profession and a guaranteed admissions pathway for students who meet program requirements.
Approved by the Louisiana Board of Regents, the partnership between the two historically Black institutions aims to strengthen the pipeline of attorneys in the state while helping students navigate the transition from undergraduate education to law school.
