| Mississippi Christian, Millsaps partner on accelerated law degree program | |
 | Mississippi Christian University is easing the pathway for Millsaps College students to earn a law degree one year quicker than normal through a new partnership. The two private schools reached a memorandum of understanding on Monday, creating a pathway to law school initiative to streamline the academic journey of students looking to pursue a legal career. As part of the plan, a student who has completed 75% of the coursework required for a bachelor's degree from Millsaps will be eligible for admission to the MC School of Law. "Through this partnership with Millsaps College, we are expanding opportunities for students, strengthening legal education across our state and helping ensure that future lawyers can pursue their calling and build their careers right here in Mississippi," MC President Blake Thompson said. Millsaps is the sixth higher learning institute to sign an accelerated law program agreement with the MC School of Law. Other partners include Mississippi State University, the Mississippi University for Women, Troy University, the University of Southern Mississippi, and William Carey University. |
