Students throughout Iowa can earn bachelor’s and law degrees in six years now from eight undergraduate institutions.

The University of Iowa College of Law has partnered with eight institutions since announcing the 3+3 program in November 2013.

The program will allow qualified undergraduates from the partner schools admission to the law school after the conclusion of their junior year. The credits earned during their first year of law school will also apply to their undergraduate degree.

The eight partner institutions are: University of Dubuque; Clarke University, Dubuque; Coe College, Cedar Rapids; Wartburg College, Waverly; Buena Vista University, Storm Lake; Morningside College, Sioux City; Iowa State University College of Liberal Arts and Sciences; UI College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
