Students admitted under the 3+3 Program fulfill their senior year of undergraduate credits through the successful completion of their first year law school courses, allowing them to graduate with both a bachelor’s degree and law degree in just six years, saving a year of tuition and related costs.
Applicants
Pursuant to Suffolk Law’s 3+3 policy, an applicant must be in his or her junior year at an undergraduate institution with which Suffolk Law has a 3+3 agreement. Applicants must also meet his or her undergraduate institution’s criteria for eligibility and all admissions standards in place at Suffolk University Law School.
