St. John Fisher College and the Syracuse University College of Law have announced a program that will allow a group of Fisher students to pursue an undergraduate and law degree in six years.
It’s called a 3+3 legal education accelerated program (LEAP), which is aimed at “minimizing the cost of their education,” St. John Fisher said in a Nov. 7 news release. The college is located in the Rochester suburb of Pittsford.
To be considered for the program, students must meet a set of requirements for both institutions.
At Fisher, they must enroll as first-year students, complete the school’s first-year program, core curriculum, major, and minor requirements, per the release.
They also need to consult with a LEAP advisor to discuss educational and career goals and earn a cumulative undergraduate grade-point average of 3.5 or higher. Students also must complete the Law School Admission Test (LSAT) with a score at or above the median LSAT score for the College of Law’s previous year’s enrolled class.
Students also have to submit an application to the College of Law through the Law School Admission Council during their third and final year at Fisher.
