Program Overview

Program Overview

The 3/3 Program in Agriculture is designed for exceptional students in the pre-law concentration in the Dale Bumpers College of Agricultural, Food and Life Sciences. This program allows students to enroll in the School of Law in their fourth year, provided all requirements have been met.

Admission Criteria

To be eligible for the 3/3 Program, students must:

• Have completed all university, college, and major course requirements for the pre-law concentration
• Have completed 12 hours in the specialization list for pre-law
• Have earned a cumulative GPA of at least 3.50 without grade renewal
• Have received an LSAT score of at least 159

Program Requirements

A student admitted to this program may substitute School of Law coursework for the remaining total hours required for the bachelor's degree in agricultural business. It is a requirement of the School of Law's accrediting standards that no student be admitted to the School of Law until they have completed at least three-fourths of the work necessary for the baccalaureate degree. The requirements embodied in the 3/3 programs satisfy this requirement.

Program Structure

The program is structured to allow students to complete their bachelor's degree in agricultural business while also beginning their law school education. The School of Law coursework will substitute for the remaining hours required for the bachelor's degree, allowing students to complete both degrees in a shorter amount of time.
