How the 3+3 Law Program Works
MC School of Law is proud to partner with select undergraduate institutions to offer an accelerated 3+3 law program—an exceptional opportunity for highly motivated students to earn both their bachelor’s degree and Doctor of Jurisprudence (JD) in just six years instead of the traditional seven.
Through this program, eligible students spend three years completing undergraduate coursework at their home institution and then transition to MC Law for their first year of law school, which also counts as their final year of undergraduate study. This innovative pathway not only saves time but also reduces overall tuition costs and jumpstarts your legal career.
