Purdue Global Law School recognized with national Excellence in Innovation distinction

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Purdue Global Law School was recently honored with Insight Into Academia’s 2026 Excellence in Innovation Award: Law Schools for its Foundations for Law School Excellence (FLEX) preadmission program.

Launched in May 2025, FLEX is a Purdue Global Law School initiative that has significantly improved persistence and performance for its students. Since its inception, 89% of FLEX students have persisted to their third term versus only 60% for non-FLEX students.

Martin Pritikin, dean and vice president of Purdue Global Law School, said the FLEX program demonstrates that, with a well-designed curriculum and dedicated faculty, FLEX can help nontraditional students transition into law school and prepare them to be excellent attorneys.

“It is great to see our online preadmission program being recognized for its innovation and for the impact it has made,” Pritikin said. “The mission at Purdue Global Law School has always been to make legal education more accessible. The FLEX program fits perfectly with that mission.”

Purdue Global Law School will be featured in the July/August 2026 issue of Insight Into Academia magazine.

This honor acknowledges law schools that are redefining the future of legal education. Through transformative programs and initiatives, these schools are reimagining curriculum, experiential learning, technology and AI integration, access to legal education, and professional pathways to better serve the evolving needs of students and the changing demands of today’s workforce. Recognition by Insight Into Academia reflects leadership, innovation and a commitment to evidence-based excellence.
