LCSC and UI partnership offers accelerated law opportunity
Lewis and Clark State College students who are accepted to the University of Idaho College of Law will now have a faster path to earn their degree as a result of transfer articulation agreement between the schools.
The agreement went into effect on Jan. 7 and includes a transfer equivalency guide to allow a seamless transfer of credits.
LCSC is the latest school to join the 3+3 agreement. College of Idaho, Boise State University and Brigham Young University-Idaho are all a part of the articulation agreement which will be reviewed on an annual schedule.
“We’re honored to provide this opportunity for students in Northern Idaho and look forward to welcoming LCSC undergraduates to law school,” said Jerrold Long, dean of the UI College of Law, in a UI press release. “In addition to our existing partnerships with the largest universities across the state, the new LCSC partnership extends our 3+3 program to almost all of the bachelor’s degree-granting institutions in Idaho.”
By participating in UI’s 3+3 program, LCSC students will be able to earn both a bachelor’s degree and a juris doctor in six years instead of seven. Students in the program will be able to simultaneously fulfil their last year of undergraduate studies and complete their first year of law school.
