新罕布什尔大学

This fast-track program is designed for students with an interest in history who also intend to pursue a law degree. In the history program, you’ll learn valuable critical thinking and communication skills while examining the past and how it informs the present. You’ll begin studying law in your senior year, simultaneously completing your bachelor’s degree in history. After two more years of study, you’ll have completed your law degree in six years, rather than the standard seven.

If you’re a highly motivated student, the history/law 3+3 option will save you significant time and money. You’ll be learning from award-winning, internationally recognized faculty in one of the top history departments in the country, and completing your studies with our dedicated law faculty. You’ll have opportunities to gain hands-on experience throughout this six-year program, working with faculty on research projects and participating in internships, study-abroad opportunities and UNH Law’s Legal Residency Program.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

The Law 3+3 option offers highly motivated UNH undergraduates the opportunity to complete their bachelor's degree (B.A.) with a history major and their law degree (J.D.) at UNH in six years, rather than the usual seven years. It promises significant savings in both time and money. Students apply to the UNH Law School in their junior year (by Jan. 1), following the approved process below, and after taking the LSAT exam. If admitted, undergraduates begin their first year of law school in their senior year. The credits earned upon successful completion of the law school courses will be applied to both the J.D. degree and as elective courses for the B.A. degree. After four years, students receive a B.A. with a history major. After six years, students, having completed all law school requirements successfully, will receive their J.D.
