#Fast Forward: The Two-Year Accelerated JD - Drexel University Thomas R. Kline School of Law

Complete Your JD in Two Years.

Yes, it s possible.

You can earn your law degree in two years without sacrificing Drexel University s signature approach to hands-on education that prepares you for legal practice. It all depends on how ready you are to focus on school and get to work practicing law.

The law school launched Fast Forward, a 2-year accelerated JD program in the summer of 2014. Here s how it works. Fast Forward students complete the same number of credit hours as those in the traditional three-year program. The big difference? You start sooner with a summer term and complete the program in two years rather than three.

What s the catch? There isn t one. You ll have the same courses, professors, electives, and opportunities (for co-op. clinics. Trial Team. Law Review. etc.) in both the 2-year and 3-year programs. The difference? You ll be doing it in fast-forward.

That means you ll save time, plus the challenges of living without an income during a third year of school. You can begin practicing law sooner. And you ll be a step ahead on your career path.

Is Fast Forward for everyone? No, it isn t. But if you bring solid academic credentials, a readiness to buckle down and a desire to start your career early, Fast Forward just might be your speed.
