Newberry College has entered into an educational agreement with the Charleston School of Law as part of a joint effort to expand opportunities for students interested in pursuing the study of law and to make those studies more affordable.

 

“We feel strongly this will be a good fit for Newberry College students,” said J. Edward Bell III, president of the Charleston School of Law.

 

The agreement, which goes into effect immediately, will award a $5,000 renewable scholarship to graduates of Newberry College who are admitted to the Charleston School of Law. The scholarship will be awarded to Newberry College graduates in addition to any other financial awards the student may receive. 

 

“Partnerships of this nature offer our students and graduates a blended pathway to experience the best of both worlds,” said Newberry College President Dr. Maurice Scherrens, who is a strong advocate of graduate and professional school articulation agreements.

 

This Charleston School of Law partnership is the latest among a growing list of partnerships aimed at expanding career opportunities for Newberry College students. Additional opportunities include articulation agreements with the following institutions:

 

Institution Program Articulation
Clemson University Engineering 3 + 2 == BS- Mathematics to BS-Engineering
Duke University Forestry/Environmental Studies 3 + 2 == BS-Biology to Master of Forestry or Master of Environmental Management
Presbyterian College Pharmacy (PharmD) 3 + 4 == BS-Biology to Doctor of Pharmacy
Lenoir-Rhyne University Clinical Mental Health Counseling Streamlined admission to MA
Lenoir-Rhyne University Human Services Streamlined admission to MA
Lenoir-Rhyne University Athletic Training Education Streamlined admission to MS

 

 

“These agreements allow Newberry College students to experience all the advantages of receiving their undergraduate education at a small liberal arts college while gaining access to some of the finest graduate and professional schools in the country,” Scherrens said.
