In 2015, TROY partnered with Thomas Goode Jones and Cumberland schools of law to become the first college in the state of Alabama to offer its students a way to complete their bachelor's and Juris Doctor degrees within six years. Today, as part of this major studying within the University's accelerated law program, you will begin an academic journey leading you to your junior year where, upon careful consideration of your GPA and LSAT scores, you will have the opportunity to apply to law school at Thomas Goode Jones School of Law in Montgomery, Cumberland School of Law in Birmingham and now to the Mississippi College of Law in Jackson. Programs are highly selective, and once chosen by one of the schools, you will begin your legal studies there. After your first year of law school, your GPA at Jones, Cumberland or Mississippi will be evaluated, and if there are no objections, you will receive your bachelor's degree from TROY as if you'd been attending our classes throughout your senior year. At this point, only two years of law school remain before you sit for the Alabama State Bar exam. Now, that's a deal, and it can only be found at Troy University.
Bachelor of Science in sociology graduates can enter or advance their careers in corrections, court administration, family intervention, case management or victim advocacy.
