Want to earn your law degree in two years instead of three? You can do that through the Accelerated JD Program (AJD) at 皇冠体育博彩大学 法学院. Our program is tailored for busy adult learners and recent college graduates who want to start right away on their law degree. Completing your degree faster means you’ll launch your legal career sooner.
You receive the same education as students on the traditional JD track. When you complete your JD in two years, you save on living expenses and enter the workplace sooner than other JD graduates. Your first summer, you’ll take four courses. Creighton 法学院 classes are small and especially so in the summer. That means you’ll have more opportunities to participate in class and to get to know and interact with your professors and classmates.
If you’ve been accepted to Creighton, you can participate in the AJD program. If you’re interested, please email the lawadmit@uc1112.com (Law School 皇冠体育博彩 Office) at least one week prior to the start of the 夏季学期. Review 常见问题解答 to ensure eligibility and see the application process page for details.
奖学金 are fully applicable to students in the accelerated program. 奖学金 awarded on an annual basis will be adjusted to include a 夏季学期 for that year.
As a student in the AJD program, you’ll start classes in May. 你将完成一个 夏季学期 before your classmates in the traditional JD program begin in August, taking the exact courses and having the same course, with the same professors, and meeting the same credit hour requirements as your peers. Like them, you also may participate in 法律期刊, 法律诊所, 校外实习期 以及司法书记员. You may participate in the externship class as early as your second summer and in clinics in your second year. Because your studies are intense, you’re discouraged from working during your first year. You’ll have breaks between 夏季学期s and regular semesters. And if you ever need to step off the accelerated track, you can do that. You’ll just stay on for a third year.
