The Legal Education Admission Program (3+3 LEAP) allows select students to complete their Bachelor of Arts degree and Law Degree in six years. Students admitted into the 3+3 LEAP complete three-fourths of their undergraduate study and then apply credits earned during their first year of MSU Law study toward the competition of their baccalaureate degree requirements.
Through 3+3 LEAP, students reduce the cost of their undergraduate education by as much as 25 percent and enter the legal profession one year earlier than they otherwise would.
This program requires careful planning in conjunction with the Assistant Dean in James Madison College. To be considered for admission, JMC students must meet with Assistant Dean Jeff Judge at the end of their first year, complete a minimum of 91 MSU credits, take the LSAT at the end of the second year, and apply for admission to the MSU College of Law by Feb. 15 of their third year.
Madison students interested in pursuing 3+3 LEAP can schedule an appointment with Assistant Dean Jeff Judge by contacting Kristie Hess (hessk1@msu.edu).
