Emporia State and Washburn universities are bitter rivals in any competition, but they have found a way to develop a significant academic partnership.
ESU and Washburn will announce a new 3+3 partnership for students interested in obtaining a law degree as part of a special event at ESU on Friday. Emporia State students interested in becoming attorneys can achieve two degrees in six years with this new program, spending the first three years at ESU and the second three years at Washburn. Students can get a bachelor’s degree from Emporia State and their law degree from Washburn — and eliminate a year from the traditional timeline in the process.
The new program begins this upcoming fall.
The announcement is at 12:15 pm Friday at the Sauder Alumni Center.
