Meredith College Has Entered Into Partnership With the Law School of Elon University

Meredith College, the liberal arts educational institution for women in Raleigh, North Carolina, has entered into a partnership with the law school of Elon University in Greensboro, North Carolina. Under the agreement, Meredith students will be able to earn a bachelor’s degree and a law degree in an accelerated five and a half years. This would reduce the normal time for a bachelor’s and law degree by two and a half years.

Under the agreement, students would spend their first three years on the Meredith College campus. If accepted into Elon Law they would spend the next two and a half years in Greensboro, with some of their credits used to complete their bachelor’s degree requirements at Meredith.

“Nearly all Meredith College students participate in applied learning experiences, such as internships, study abroad or undergraduate research, so Elon Law’s highly experiential focus, highlighted by our residency program, is a perfect fit for their legal education,” said Alan Woodlief, senior associate dean and an associate professor at Elon Law. “For the past several years, women have made up the majority of our entering classes, and we look forward to many talented students from Meredith joining our accelerated program.”
