Manor College and Widener University Delaware Law School have entered an articulati­on agreement that will give Manor students the opportunit­y to earn an accelerate­d Bachelor’s Degree from Manor and a Juris Doctorate degree from Widener University Delaware Law School in a recently-announced 3 + 3 program. Additional­ly, the schools have agreed to a Guaranteed Admissions program for Manor College students completing a Bachelor’s degree, before being admitted to Delaware Law School.

Under the agreement, Manor students will be admitted to Delaware Law after completing just three years of undergradu­ate study at Manor if they have completed 75 percent of their bachelor degree, earned a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher every semester at Manor, achieved an LSAT score that meets or exceeds the median LSAT score of Delaware Law’s most recent entering class, satisfied all Delaware Law admissions requiremen­ts relating to character and fitness, and submitted a completed applicatio­n by April 1 of the calendar year in which they intend to enroll.

The program is intended to save students time and expense allowing for the completion of both degrees in six years instead of seven.

Delaware Law has agreed to award a minimum $20,000 merit scholarshi­p to all Manor students accepted through the Guaranteed Admission or 3+3 program. This academic award can be renewed if the student maintains good academic standing.
