Northern Kentucky University and the NKU Chase College of Law announced today the addition of a new 3+3 Accelerated Law Program, which will allow high-performing students to earn bachelor’s and juris doctor degrees in six years, rather than the traditional seven. As a result, students will be able to save tuition and will have an opportunity to begin their legal careers a year sooner.
“We are thrilled to be able to offer prospective students on the professional fast track with an opportunity to save both time and money,” said NKU Chase Dean Jeffrey A. Standen.
The 3+3 Accelerated Law Program allows NKU undergraduate students who have completed all academic requirements in three years to begin law school in their fourth year. After the students successfully complete the first year of law school, NKU will award their bachelor’s degrees.
“Student success is our paramount goal,” President Geoffrey S. Mearns said. “The 3+3 Accelerated Law Program exemplifies our commitment to providing a supportive, student-centered educational environment.”
Advisors from the university and the college of law will work with students to map out their schedules for successful completion of the academic requirements. Additionally, undergraduate students in the program will have opportunities to engage with law students, faculty, and alumni.
