Campbell Law, Salem College partner to create new accelerated dual degree
Campbell Law and Salem College have partnered to create an accelerated dual-degree option for students seeking to earn undergraduate and juris doctor degrees. Under the 3+3 accelerated dual degree program, Salem College students can earn an undergraduate degree and a juris doctor from Campbell Law in six years rather than seven, saving both time and money. A student enrolled in the 3+3 program will spend three years at Salem College, completing general education requirements and the coursework for their major. In their fourth year, the student will begin study at Campbell Law, and the credits earned during that year will complete their undergraduate degree while counting toward their law degree.
