Bachelor's
Degree and a J.D. in Six Years!
he "3 and 3" Program is a collaborative program
between Texas A&M University and South Texas College
of Law. This program makes it possible for an individual to obtain
a Bachelor's degree and a J.D. in six years by admission to law school
after the end of the junior undergraduate year and award of a Bachelor's
degree after completion of the first year of law school.
Students
in this program may be admitted to South Texas College of Law after
completing a minimum of 98 undergraduate hours at Texas A&M and
receive a Bachelor's degree upon completing a first year of course
work at South Texas College of Law.
Undergraduate
work at Texas A&M must include all University Core Curriculum
requirements and all requirements for a major in a Department in the
College of Liberal Arts or in a Department in the College of Geosciences. In addition, while at TAMU, students must earn a cumulative GPA
of no less than 3.25 and have no more than one semester (long semester
or summer session) less than 3.25 in order to be eligible for and
to remain in this Early Admission Program.
After
successful completion of at least one full year of course work at
South Texas College of Law, students may petition the College of Liberal
Arts or the College of Geosciences for the degree to which, on the
basis of their undergraduate record, they would be entitled. The Dean
of the College will review each student's academic record at South
Texas College of Law and , on that basis, recommend the granting of
a Bachelor's degree.
Although
South Texas College of Law agrees to consider students in this program
for early admission, admission to law school is not guaranteed. Students
must apply for admission (normally during their third year of undergraduate
studies) directly to South Texas College of Law, which makes the final
admission decisions. Students in the program who are not accepted
for Early Admission still have the option of completing their undergraduate
degrees at Texas A&M University.
