Bachelor of Arts History to Juris Doctor (Accelerated)

Students are eligible to apply to the history, B.A./J.D. accelerated program any time in their undergraduate career after having completed between 15 and 48 credits at SLU. Students must maintain a 3.5 cumulative GPA to continue in the accelerated program. After having completed 75 credits, students will submit an application to SLU Law. If admitted to SLU Law, these students will begin their J.D. program in their fourth year. The first year of law school coursework will count as elective credit toward the undergraduate bachelor\u2019s degree. Thus, the College of Arts and Sciences will award students their degrees after the successful completion of their first year of law school and student submission of a graduation application.

Students will be required to complete at least 75 percent of course credits necessary to earn their undergraduate degree (e.g., minimum 90 credits) before matriculating into the first year of law school. These credits must include college core curriculum requirements (48 to 51 credits) and history major requirements (36 credits). All core curriculum and major requirements will be met before students matriculate.

Students not admitted to SLU Law will remain eligible to receive a B.A. in history from the College of Arts and Sciences upon successful completion of 120 credits.
