The University of Cincinnati has started a 3 + 3 program where students can earn both a B.A. and law degree in six years instead of seven. Students at University of Cincinnati’s McMicken College of Arts & Sciences who are admitted to the University of Cincinnati College of Law will complete their bachelor’s degree while simultaneously completing the first year of law school.
“The 3+3 Program is an exciting opportunity for undergraduates who know they have a strong interest in law school and want to get an early start on getting to know what it will be like,” said College of Law Dean Jennifer S. Bard. “We will be including the 3+3 students in events and lectures and also encourage them to enroll in the classes taught by our faculty that will be available to all undergraduates.”
“Our new 3+3 partnership with the College of Law will save Pre-Law students a year of tuition.” said McMicken College of Arts and Sciences Dean Ken Petren. “Each student will have a team of advisers so they are ready to apply to law school at the end of their junior year. We’ve chatted with prospective students about this opportunity, and the response has been very positive.”
Currently, the partnership is limited to UC students in specific majors within the McMicken College of Arts and Sciences.
