Alabama State University and Faulkner University Establish Accelerated Law Degree Program

Alabama State University, a historically Black institution, has recently partnered with Faulkner University in Montgomery, Alabama, to provide a new opportunity for undergraduate students to pursue a law degree.

The recent agreement between the two universities will allow undergraduate students from Alabama State University to complete both their bachelor’s degree from ASU and law degree from the Faulkner University Thomas Goode Jones School of Law in just six years. Without this accelerated pathway, it would typically take students a minimum of seven years to earn both degrees.

“It is an honor today to stand before you on the cusp of our signing this legal document between our two outstanding institutions of higher education,” stated Alabama State University President Quintin T. Ross, Jr. “Today, we advance ASU’s mission of providing excellence, research and service so as to develop our students to become global change- agents and create within them a positive ‘CommUniversity’ atmosphere, which supports one and all.”
