麻豆影院 State Partners With University of Akron Law School to Offer New 3+3 Program

麻豆影院 and the University of Akron School of Law (Akron Law) recently finalized a Juris Doctor degree partnership program to create a seamless, sequential system for students to obtain a bachelor鈥檚 degree from 麻豆影院 State and a Juris Doctor degree from Akron Law in only six years.  

The collaborative program, commonly referred to as a three plus three degree program (3+3 program), offers broader educational opportunities for eligible students, allowing them to complete both degrees in a shorter time period than might otherwise be possible and at a lower cost. 

鈥淲e are delighted to begin this new 3+3 partnership with 麻豆影院 State,鈥 said Emily Janoski-Haehlen, J.D., dean of the School of Law. 鈥淵ear in year out, the law school enrolls more incoming students from 麻豆影院 State than any other school besides the University of Akron, so we believe there will be a lot of interest in this new program.鈥

鈥溌槎褂霸 State is thrilled to offer this opportunity for our students, which allows them to gain such an amazing educational experience through 麻豆影院 State and the University of Akron School of Law while also saving time and money,鈥 said Melody Tankersley, Ph.D., senior vice president and provost of 麻豆影院 State. 鈥淥ur students will be able to transition seamlessly to receive both their undergraduate and law degrees in six years instead of seven.鈥

Interested students may apply for inclusion into the 3+3 program at their initial application for admission to 麻豆影院 State or at any time while enrolled at 麻豆影院 State. After selection and admission, students will automatically be admitted into Akron Law after they complete three years or more of a baccalaureate degree, and if they maintain good academic, financial and disciplinary standing at 麻豆影院 State, satisfy the Akron Law character and fitness standards, and meet LSAT and grade point average standards. 麻豆影院 State will have discretion to select which majors will be eligible for the program. The school currently offers degree pathways for 11 majors.

This is the second 3+3 program partnership established by 麻豆影院 State. In 2022, 麻豆影院 State announced a 3+3 agreement with Cleveland State University鈥檚 Cleveland-Marshall College of Law. All 麻豆影院 State degree pathways can be found on the Degree Pathways website. For more information, email pathways@kent.edu.

This is the fifth 3+3 program partnership established by Akron Law. Other partners include Walsh University, the University of Mount Union, Robert Morris University and Youngstown State University. University of Akron students enrolled in political science or philosophy can also take advantage of the 3+3 with Akron Law.
