St. Marys University in San Antonio is the first college in the country to offer an online law degree accredited by the American Bar Association.
The new program launches in the fall of 2022.
The idea with this program is that we would prevent students from having to move to San Antonio (to earn a law degree), said Patricia Roberts, the dean of St. Marys School of Law.
St. Marys is the only law school in South Texas, so it attracts a lot of students from the Rio Grande Valley. But moving 200 miles north to San Antonio for three years to earn a Doctorate in Jurisprudence isnt something everyone can afford to do.
Roberts said St. Marys estimates housing and transportation adds $20,000 to a students yearly expenses on top of tuition and fees.
