The new 3+3 Program allows Kent State students to earn their Bachelor’s Degree and Juris Doctorate over 6 years.
"It is about saving time. It's about saving money, but it's also this seamless process that students go through," said Melody Tankersley, Senior Vice President and Provost at Kent State University.
The program shaves off a full year —for what would normally take seven years of schooling to complete."They take 29 credit hours in their first year of law school that we then transfer back to their undergraduate institution, so in this case, Kent State. Then Kent State awards their bachelor's degree at the end of their first semester of law school," said Emily Janoski-Haehlen, Dean of the University of Akron School of Law.
Retention and saving tens of thousands of dollars on tuition, university officials say, were crucial, especially in these trying economic times. Janoski-Haehlen says the program accelerates the law school process and puts prospective students ahead of the class and first in the workforce.
