Communication Studies-to-Law Pathway Programs
Written and oral communication skills are essential to the practice of law. This makes Communication Studies an excellent major for law school-bound students. At Â鶹ÊÓƵ×îÐÂ×îÈ« University choosing Communication Studies as your pre-law major will give you both a skillset you need to succeed — and low-cost, fast-track pathways to well-respected law schools in the Northeast Ohio region:
Â鶹ÊÓƵ×îÐÂ×îȫ’s 3+3 law pathway programs (B.A. to J.D.) allow students to shave a year off the typical seven-year plan to complete both degrees. Interested students can elect the Communication Studies-to-Law School pathway program during or before their freshman year and work closely with their College of Communication and Information academic adviser to ensure they are on a track to complete required undergraduate courses over the course of three years. For students accepted into the program, the senior year is completed concurrently with the first year of law school.
Admission into law school is determined by the partner institution and requires satisfactory test scores; good academic, disciplinary and financial standing at Â鶹ÊÓƵ×îÐÂ×îÈ«; meeting GPA standards; and other requirements that may be determined by the partner institution. Please speak with an advisor if you have further questions regarding this program. T
