3 + 3 Law Degree with Syracuse University or University at Buffalo

Highly motivated legal students can complete a six-year combined B.A. and J.D. degree program through a Nazareth University partnership with Syracuse University College of Law or University at Buffalo School of Law. You complete three years at Nazareth as a legal studies, political science, history, or philosophy major and then three years at law school in Syracuse or Buffalo.

The benefits:

• Save one year's time and tuition costs compared to the more typical seven-year path to bachelor's and J.D. degrees.
• Eligible students may receive scholarships based on the terms outlined when accepted to Nazareth University.
• Nazareth provides an LSAT preparation class ($1,500 value) for students accepted into the 3+3 program.

Application process:

1. High school seniors are eligible to apply. Complete the Nazareth University admissions process by the chosen deadline.
   
• If you are a current Nazareth student, please contact Noel Wolfe, director of Nazareth's legal studies program, at nwolfe3@naz.edu.
2. Submit test scores. Although Nazareth is a standardized-test-optional university for most programs, an SAT or ACT score is required for the 3+3 law program.
3. Fill out the 3+3 law online supplemental application form. Once complete, this information will be combined with your Nazareth University application and reviewed by both the Nazareth admissions team and your chosen law school.
4. Admitted students receive official admission to Nazareth University and documentation of eligibility for admission to Syracuse University College of Law or University at Buffalo School of Law.
5. To be eligible for any need-based financial aid, please fill out the FAFSA by the appropriate deadline.
