Bachelor of Arts in English to Law Degree Pathway

The Bachelor of Arts in English to Law Degree Pathway teaches students skills that are always in demand by employers, such as critical thinking, focused research, sophisticated written and oral communication, the ability to appreciate differences, as well as the capacity to explain complex issues.

Students will complete three-fourths of the coursework required for a Bachelor of Arts in English from The W in three years.

Students then transfer to the Mississippi College School of Law. Where they will go on to finish the remaining coursework required for their Bachelor of Arts in English while working towards their law degree.
