Pre-Law (3+3 Accelerated Program)

Those who want a career in law know it's about more than a title, paycheck and an office with a view.

With Capital’s 3+3 Pre-Law Program, students can earn their B.A./J.D. in six years and have access to the student support resources they need along the way. Capital students save a year of time and tuition, and gain the knowledge, professional skills, experience and support they need to be successful at Capital, in law school and in the legal profession.

“I selected Capital for two reasons. First, I had heard great things about, and met individuals who spoke highly of, the law school. Secondly, Capital has a unique '3+3 Bachelor-to-Law program,' which streamlines the undergraduate degree in 3 years for an early start on the juris doctor. The 3+3 will make my career goal of becoming a contract attorney that much more achievable. Since then, my decision has been reassured because of my involvement in close-knit communities and personalized classes.”
