Re: The Official Word from DETC Regarding ALU

More | Report Post

Concord was accredited before it had anyone take the bar exam. They
had a 60% pass rate the first time any graduates took the exam. The
ALU first time pass rate is less than half that.

I wonder why ALU has waited so long to apply to DETC? Concord and
Taft have been accredited for over five years.
