The 3-3 Program enables students to move on to Fordham School of Law after three years of study at Fordham College. The BA or BS is awarded following the completion of the first year of law school. Participation requires that students:

• Complete all core and major requirements and at least 92 credits before beginning law school.
• Have a very strong LSAT score. It is preferable that the LSAT scores be available by December of the academic year in which the application is made.
• Maintain a superior grade point average, including transfer credits.

Students who meet these criteria become eligible to be considered for application to the Fordham School of Law during their junior year. Interested students should meet with their academic advisers early on to make sure they complete all necessary undergraduate courses and credits.

Students who intend to participate in the 3-3 Program must have an interview with a pre-law adviser, who may then forward your name to the director of admissions at Fordham's School of Law. Admission is not guaranteed and is very competitive. You should meet Fordham University School of Law’s criteria for admissions, which can vary from year to year.
