Begin the first three years of your undergraduate studies at Mount St. Joseph University. The fourth and fifth years (and sixth if you choose the 3+3 program with summers off) will be at the University of Dayton School of Law.


Save Time and Money

  • Finish your Bachelor’s and J.D. in 5 years
  • First-year law classes can count toward both: finishing your college degree while also receiving credit toward the completion of your law degree. The first year of law school meets the undergrate electives required for a bachelor’s degree. 
  • Earn a Bachelor’s and law degree in 5 years (instead of the 7). Another pathway is to take summers off, follow the 3+3 option and earn your Bachelor’s and law degree one year sooner.
  • Finishing sooner allows tuition and living expense savings, as well can head start on entering the job market.
