Grand Canyon Education Gets Court Approval to Open College of Law

08:29 AM EDT, 10/16/2026 (MT Newswires) -- Grand Canyon Education (LOPE) said Friday that the Arizona Supreme Court unanimously approved its new College of Law, allowing graduates to seek admission to the State Bar of Arizona after graduation. The approval creates a new licensing pathway for graduates of GCU's planned law school, which the university aims to open as early as 2027 before pursuing American Bar Association accreditation when eligible. The college will operate under court oversight. GCU has also received state approval and will seek accreditation from the Higher Learning Commission, the company added.
