Earn your law degree in just two years while maintaining Drexel University's renowned hands-on learning approach that equips you for legal practice. Your success depends on your dedication to focused study and early immersion in legal work.
Here's the structure: Students in the 2-year program complete identical credit requirements as the standard 3-year curriculum. The key distinction? You begin earlier with a summer term, finishing your degree in two years instead of three.
Both program lengths offer the same education. The accelerated version simply compresses the timeline.
Benefits include time savings, avoiding a third academic year without income, earlier entry into legal practice, and a career head start.
Is the accelerated program right for all students? Not necessarily. However, if you possess strong academic qualifications, commitment to intensive study, and eagerness to launch your career quickly, this fast-track option could be your ideal path.
