VIRGINIA BEACH, VA (February 15, 2022) – Regent University is pleased to announce that it will launch a fully online Bachelor of Arts in Law degree program through the School of Law in Fall 2022.

The Bachelor of Arts in Law is ideal for students who wish to pursue a career in a legal setting, such as a parole officer, case manager, court specialist, law clerk, legal mediator, court-appointed special advocate, and more. Regent’s “3+3” program enables qualified B.A. in Law students to move into Juris Doctor studies after three years of undergraduate work—saving J.D. students both time and money.
“Regent Law School’s Bachelor of Arts in Law degree program is the fastest way for new college students to prepare for careers in law-related fields, delivered from a thoroughly Christian worldview. And with Regent’s exciting 3+3 program that combines the senior year of college with the first year of J.D. studies, a student can move from high school to the bar exam in just six years!” said Brad Jacob, J.D., associate dean for Online Programs.
On completing the B.A. in Law, students will be able to:
- Communicate knowledgeably and effectively in a legal setting, including technical and administrative skills required for non-attorneys in the legal profession.
- Assist in reviewing legal contracts, interviewing clients and witnesses, and formulating and critiquing legal arguments.
