<p>Immaculata University and Widener University Delaware Law School have entered an articulation agreement&nbsp;that will give Immaculata students the opportunity to earn an accelerated Bachelor&rsquo;s Degree from Immaculata and a Juris Doctorate degree from Widener University Delaware Law School in a recently-announced 3 + 3 program.</p>
<p>Under the agreement, Immaculata students will be admitted to Delaware Law after completing just three years of undergraduate study at Immaculata if they have completed 75% of their bachelor degree, earn a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher through six semesters at Immaculata, achieve an LSAT score that meets or exceeds the median LSAT score of Delaware Law&rsquo;s most recent entering class, satisfy all Delaware Law admissions requirements relating to character and fitness, and submit a completed application by April 1<sup>st</sup>&nbsp;of the calendar year in which they intend to enroll.&nbsp; The program is intended to save students time and expense allowing for the completion of both degrees in six years instead of seven.</p>
<p>According to Immaculata President Barbara Lettiere, a 1972 graduate of Immaculata, &ldquo;This new agreement provides a clear pathway for our students to earn a law degree in less time and with less cost. &nbsp;We are excited about this new partnership with Widener University&rsquo;s Delaware Law School and the opportunities it creates for our Immaculata students.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Delaware Law School Dean Rodney A. Smolla said he was pleased to see the two schools collaborate.&nbsp; &ldquo;The Delaware Law School is delighted to embark on this new partnership with Immaculata University.&nbsp; This collaboration will strengthen both institutions and contribute to educational opportunities in both Delaware and Pennsylvania.&rdquo;</p>
