3-3 Law Program

Overview

Creighton University offers a 3-3 combined bachelor’s degree-law degree program through both the College of Arts and Sciences and the Heider College of Business. Students in the 3-3 Law Program earn both an undergraduate degree and a law degree from Creighton University in six years instead of the normal seven. Students interested in the program apply to the Creighton School of Law in the Fall Semester of the third year. If admitted to the School of Law, students matriculate to the Law Program in the Fall Semester of the fourth year.

The 3-3 Law Program is best suited for highly motivated students with a strong interest in the law. Students are strongly encouraged to participate in the PLAW Information Community and maintain a high GPA. If the student chooses, he or she can withdraw the 3-3 Law Program plan of study and seamlessly transition into a traditional 4-year undergraduate plan of study.

The 3-3 Law Program is available through the following College of Arts & Sciences (CCAS) majors:

Other CCAS majors/departments may be available--students should check with a pre-law advisor.

In years 1-3 of the 3-3 Law Program, students complete all CCAS Magis Core requirements, all major requirements, and must accumulate at least 96 credit hours. In years 4-6, students complete all law school classes required for the law degree. The first year of law school classes (year 4) also serve to fulfill the elective hours for the undergraduate degree (BA).
