Law School Partnerships
Since 2015, students have been using the 3+3 arrangement to earn both a bachelor’s degree and a law degree in six years. Students who can qualify for a Bachelor of Integrative Studies (BIS) Degree can then use their successfully completed first year of law school toward the completion of their OU degree.
Traditionally, earning a bachelor’s degree followed by a law degree would total seven years but with the 3+3 program, students transfer 30 credits from their law school courses back to OU to finish bachelor’s degree requirements.
To complete the degree they will need an approved plan of study to enter the BIS major and separately gain admission into one of our law school partnership programs. Tuition and fees will be paid to OU for classes taken at OU and to the law school for classes taken in the law program.
