For Students Who Dream of Becoming a Lawyer

ACHLS Pathways to Law School:

ACHLS is not only the ultimate in pre-law education, but for qualified students, The American College of History and Legal Studies will decrease the time it takes for you to earn your BA and JD degree by a full year, saving you time and money.

ACHLS's Early Admissions to Law School Program allows a qualifying ACHLS student to combine her senior year at ACHLS in New Hampshire with her first year of law school at the Massachusetts School of Law at Andover.

• Approximately 17 similar programs are offered throughout the United States.


• The Early Admissions to Law School Program allows a student to obtain a joint BA/JD degree within six years, as opposed to the traditional seven years to complete both.


• Prerequisites to participate in the Early Admissions to Law School Program are outlined on www.achls.org and in the catalog.


• ACHLS offers additional pathways to law school for students who may not qualify for our Early Admissions to Law School program.
