“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.
