College of Arts and Sciences 3+3 BA/JD
The College of Arts and Sciences is excited to announce the launch of a 3+3 combined BA/JD Program in collaboration with Seton Hall Law School. This innovative program allows students to complete their undergraduate and law degrees in six years instead of the traditional seven years. Students will complete their undergraduate coursework in approximately three years and then proceed to law school, receiving their bachelor’s degree after the first year of law school. The program includes various disciplines such as Anthropology, English, History, Philosophy, Political Science, Psychology, Religious Studies, Spanish, Social Work, and Sociology. Other BA program students can also participate by consulting with their academic advisors.
Admission Requirements
Freshman Admission:
- High School GPA: 3.6 or higher
- SAT: 1200 (or ACT: 27), with a Critical Reading score of 600
