The B.A. in Law provides multiple opportunities for further education including graduate programs for public administration, business administration, law and many more.
Our curriculum prepares graduates for multiple professions that require the ability to think like a lawyer including:
The 3+3 program is a competitive program that provides an expedited path to law school. Students become eligible to apply to the 3+3 Program after successfully completing specific undergraduate requirements. Those who are accepted into the 3+3 program start taking classes at the Chase College of Law after their junior year.
NOTE: The BA in Law major is distinct from the 3+3 program. Declaring the BA in Law major does not automatically enter a student into the 3+3 program.
BA in Law is a standalone undergraduate degree program. Students are prepared for additional education and a variety of employment prospects. The 3+3 program is an expedited path to completion of a Juris Doctorate from NKU’s Chase College of Law. For complete information on the 3+3 Accelerate Law program visit NKU Chase College of Law.
Note: Courses taken at NKU Chase will not be used to calculate undergraduate GPA.
Students who unsuccessfully apply for admission to NKU Chase 3+3 Accelerated Law Program are eligible to reapply in their senior year. If you choose not to re-apply for the 3+3 Accelerated Law Program you will have to complete the NKU undergraduate degree components listed on the Office of the University Registrar website.
Note: Courses taken at NKU Chase will not be used to calculate undergraduate GPA.
Students in the BA in Law program are working toward an undergraduate degree at NKU. To obtain an undergraduate degree at NKU students will follow the tuition rate listed at Student Account Serivices website.
Once a student is accepted into the 3+3 Accelerated Law program and begins their first year Law courses they will be charged at the Chase College of Law per credit hour rate. See the tuition rates at STUDENT ACCOUNT SERIVICES WEBSITE.
