| Arts & Science teams up to offer bachelor’s, law degrees in six years
“Even though I am an accelerated student, I have fit right into the law school experience. I feel that my reading-heavy history courses prepared the heavy reading in my law school classes,” said Carson Bowles, history major and current accelerated law student. “The time and money I get to save by shortening what would usually take seven years into six is a major bonus.”

Funded through a generous estate gift from alumna and long-time TU supporter, Patti D’Arcy (BFA ’49), the D’Arcy Internship is a paid internship program that is competitive and challenging with a selective process that matches students with employers to benefit both. The program provides its students valuable professional experience across a range of fields — including art galleries and media outlets, policy institutes, city departments, and non-profits serving critical needs. Through the continued generosity of donors, students can gain valuable real-world experience, expand networks, and explore career options before graduation.
