SUNY Canton And The University At Buffalo School Of Laws Are Launching New Law Program
SUNY Canton and the University at Buffalo School of Laws are launching a new program where students can earn a bachelor’s degree and a law degree in six years. The accelerated program requires three years of undergraduate courses in either Legal Studies or Applied Psychology at SUNY Canton and three years at UB School of Law.
“This partnership allows students to complete both degrees in six years of full-time study instead of seven, saving them an entire year’s worth of tuition,” said SUNY Canton Dean of the School of Business and Liberal Arts Philip T. Neisser. “This is a tremendous opportunity for our graduates to take advantage of one of the most cost-efficient ways to earn a law degree in the nation.”
Students interested must have at least a 3.5 GPA, complete the Law School Admission Test (LSAT) with a score at or above the median for the School of Law’s enrolled class from the year before and apply to the UB School of Law in their junior year. After the first year at the laws school students’ credits will be transferred to SUNY Canton to earn their bachelor’s degree. Students can start the program in fall 2019. Career options for graduates include private practice, judicial clerkships, public interest work and leadership positions in government or business.
“With a significant number of our Legal Studies students already enrolling in law schools, the accelerated program allows them to become attorneys sooner, and at a substantially reduced cost,” said SUNY Canton Professor and Curriculum Coordinator for the Legal Studies program Jondavid S. DeLong, J.D.
