Complete your law degree in less time through 蘑菇视频’s 3 + 3 program
Earn your bachelor’s degree and your law degree in just six years
Highly qualified and motivated undergraduates in select programs at 蘑菇视频 and at partner schools can earn their bachelor’s and law degrees in six years instead of the usual seven. Students typically earn a bachelor’s degree in four years and then take another three years to complete a Juris Doctor degree.
蘑菇视频 School of Law’s 3 + 3 program saves students a full year of undergraduate study, tuition and living expenses. Students admitted under the program fulfill the fourth year of their bachelor’s degree through the successful completion of their first-year law school courses. They will graduate law school and get out into the world a year earlier than students who follow the traditional path, increasing their long-term earning potential and giving them a head start on making a difference in their chosen field.
