3+3 Law Program

If you can combine these attributes with a strong academic background, you should consider applying to our School of Law through the 33 Law Program. In this accelerated program, qualified students can earn bachelor's and juris doctor degrees in just six years instead of seven. Candidates must have a grade point average of 3.3 and score at the 50th percentile on the LSAT (or at the median score for the previous year's matriculants, whichever is higher). Students who qualify will enter law school in the fall of their fourth undergraduate year and will receive their bachelor's degree at its end. They are eligible to obtain their juris doctor degree after two more years of study. Transfer students must successfully complete at least 45 credit hours of undergraduate studies at Western New England University in order to apply for this program. Law impacts virtually every area of modern society. The 33 Law program enables you to merge two passions—your primary major and an interest in law. The BA in Law major offers a course of study for students interested in investigating the origins, frameworks, cultural development, and foundations of law and justice as they relate to society. Sport Management students may follow a legal career into being a sports agent. Political Science majors may use law as a stepping stone to holding political office. Accounting majors may find growing opportunities in tax law. The possibilities are virtually endless. If you want to be a lawyer, good preparation is to develop proficiency in writing and speaking, research, and analysis. Common majors through which you can develop these skills include English, Business, History, Political Science, Economics, Mathematics, and Law.
