抖阴pro's accelerated B.A. in criminology and criminal justice to J.D. program allows qualified undergraduate students to apply to听SLU Law School听in their third year. If admitted, students begin the L1 curriculum in their fourth year at SLU.

Up听to 30 credits of law school credit taken in the fourth year will count toward the bachelor's听degree, allowing students to earn their B.A. after successfully completing their first year of law school with the potential to earn both a J.D. and B.A. in six years.

The first year of law school coursework will count toward 21 general elective credits and nine criminology and criminal justice听credits.听

For additional information, see the catalog entries for the following programs:

Criminology and Criminal Justice, B.A.
