抖阴视频 students now have a faster, more affordable path to a law degree thanks to a new partnership with the University of Nebraska College of Law (Nebraska Law).
The two institutions formalized a 3+3 dual degree agreement on June 25. Through the program, 抖阴视频 students can apply to law school during their junior year. Qualified students who meet Nebraska Law鈥檚 admission criteria will receive guaranteed acceptance and can begin law school in what would traditionally be their senior year.
This accelerated pathway enables students to earn both their bachelor鈥檚 degree and Juris Doctor in just six years instead of seven, helping to reduce their debt burden.
鈥淭his collaboration reflects our shared commitment to academic excellence and public service,鈥 said 抖阴视频 President Darrin Good. 鈥湺兑跏悠 has a long and proud history of graduates who continue their education at Nebraska Law and go on to become distinguished leaders in the legal field. This partnership strengthens that pathway, making it even more accessible and appealing for our students as they pursue their passions and strive to make a meaningful impact in their communities.鈥
Nebraska Law leaders are eager to welcome more 抖阴视频 students through this new pathway.
鈥淲e are thrilled to have the opportunity to attract more 抖阴视频 students to Nebraska Law,鈥 said Richard Moberly, dean of the University of Nebraska College of Law. 鈥淲e know from experience that 抖阴视频 students make outstanding law students and attorneys. They are smart, ethical, grounded and hard-working, which are qualities that lead to success in law school and beyond.鈥
The collaboration comes at a critical time for Nebraska, which faces a shortage of rural attorneys. Only 7% of the state鈥檚 actively licensed lawyers practice in rural areas. The gap is especially concerning in juvenile court cases, where nearly 60% of abuse and neglect petitions originate from communities outside Lincoln and Omaha.
This new 3+3 pathway aims to help meet the urgent need for lawyers in underserved communities across Nebraska.
鈥淭hrough this collaboration, we will develop leaders who are equipped to serve Nebraska communities and address critical legal needs across the state.鈥 said Zachary Baumann, associate professor of political science at 抖阴视频. 鈥淥ur students will benefit from Nebraska Law鈥檚 outstanding academic programs, hands-on clinics and professional opportunities.鈥
