    Yep!


    Accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools

    Founded in Wilmington, Delaware, in 1821, Widener University is composed of eight schools and colleges that offer liberal arts and sciences, professional and pre-professional curricula. A comprehensive, teaching institution chartered in both Pennsylvania and Delaware, Widener is today a three-campus university offering 150 programs of study leading to an associate's, bachelor's, master's or doctoral degree. The University's schools include the College of Arts and Sciences, School of Engineering, School of Hospitality Management, School of Human Service Professions, School of Law, School of Business Administration, School of Nursing, and University College.

    Widener University School of Law is also professionally accredited by the American Bar Association, which is probably the most relevant accreditation for law schools.

    But does it offer any DL programs?

    In addition to regional accreditation, and perhaps of more importance to a law school, Widener University School of Law is fully accredited by the ABA and AALS. They do not, however, have a distance education program.
     
  5. They have a campus in Harrisburg, PA and (as already noted) one on the outskirts of Wilmington.

    In an area with several ABA-approved law school-- Temple, UPenn, Rutgers-Camden, and Widener-- they're viewed by many as a "safety" school, the one you apply to in case one of your other choices falls through. But I've yet to meet one of their graduates in a professional setting who seemed any less prepared or competent than alumni of any of the others.. unscientific, non-empirical support for my theory that selectivitity in admissions to professional schools has little to do with the competence of the "finished product."

    Widener is a great school, although the dormitories leave something to be desired. I attended the Wilmington Campus.
