3+3 Business Law - JD Program
Are you ready to accelerate your law career?
Detroit Mercy's 3 + 3 program allows qualified students to complete a Bachelor of Science degree with a concentration in Business Law from the College of Business Administration and a Juris Doctorate (JD) from the School of Law in just six years.
How it works
You will spend the first three years earning credit toward your bachelor's degree and the last three completing the Juris Doctor requirements. The credits earned after successfully completing the first-year law school curriculum will transfer back to the undergraduate program for awarding of the bachelor's degree.
