Law Schools in The United States - Accelerated JD Programs

Accelerated JD Programs

An Accelerated JD program may refer to one of the following:

  • A program that combines a bachelor's degree with a juris doctor degree ("3+3 JD program" or "BA to JD program").
  • A two-year juris doctor degree that is offered in a condensed period, separately from a bachelor's degree ("2-year JD program").

As a result of student concerns about the time and cost (both in terms of tuition and the opportunity cost associated with foregoing a salary for three years) required to complete a law degree, there has been an emerging trend to develop accelerated JD programs.

Famous quotes containing the word programs:

    “Will TV kill the theater? If the programs I have seen, save for “Kukla, Fran and Ollie,” the ball games and the fights, are any criterion, the theater need not wake up in a cold sweat.”
    —Tallulah Bankhead (1903–1968)
