Accelerated Degrees
An accelerated degree is an excellent opportunity to earn an undergraduate degree and a juris doctor from TU in less time than it would take to pursue each degree separately. Candidates who meet the criteria are invited to consider this unique opportunity.
Arts & Sciences + JD Accelerated Degree
Through a collaborative program with the College of Law, selected students at the Henry Kendall College of Arts and Sciences can complete their undergraduate degree and a J.D. in six years. At the end of their second semester in law school and the completion of 120 applicable semester hours, students in the program will be awarded a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.), Bachelor of Sciences (B.S.), or Bachelor of Fine Arts (B.F.A.) degree. Students in the College of Arts and Sciences are eligible to apply for admission to the accelerated law program in the last fall semester before starting law school at The University of Tulsa.
