Drew University Partners with New York Law, Seton Hall Law Schools

The university announced agreements which help Drew University undergraduate students get a head start on law school.

Drew University has signed articulation agreements with New York Law School and Seton Hall University School of Law, which will help give Drew University undergraduates a head start on law school.

Students who meet the requirements of the articulation agreement can gain admission to Seton Hall Law School and New York Law School while still undergraduates at Drew University. Starting in the fall semester of 2015, Drew University students interested in attending law school will have the opportunity to gain admission to law school while pursuing their undergraduate degrees. Students who enroll in the program during their first year and complete its requirements will gain automatic admission to Seton Hall or New York Law.

“Drew University is pleased and proud to offer these exciting opportunities to its students who are working toward careers in law,” Associate Dean Debra Liebowitz said in a release from Drew University. “Starting in their first year at Drew, students will be able to participate in a program of study that will more quickly prepare students for a promising law career.”

Additionally, the articulation agreements provide students with an accelerated course of study. In this accelerated course, students can complete their undergraduate degree and law school juris doctor in six years.

If Drew University students do not want to participate in the accelerated three-plus-three program at Seton Hall or the four-plus-two program at New York Law School, provided they gain admission, they can participate in the traditional four-plus-three program at either law school.
