The Department of Philosophy participates in the Oakland University - Detroit Mercy Law School 3+3 program, the Oakland University - Michigan State University Law 3+3 program, and the Oakland University - Wayne State University Law 3+3 program, which allow students the opportunity to earn an undergraduate degree (B.A. or B.S.) and a law degree (J.D.) in a minimum of 6 years. All students may participate.

Up to 30 credits from University of Detroit Mercy’s Law School, Michigan State University’s Law School, or Wayne State University’s Law School will be counted toward the undergraduate degree. Students must complete the coursework as specified by the major, along with the university’s General Education Requirements, and then can apply to the UDM Law, MSU Law, or WSU Law program. Once admitted and on the successful completion of the first year of law school, students can apply the 30 credits from UDM Law, MSU Law, or WSU Law as elective credits toward the overall credits required for the undergraduate degree. The College of Arts and Sciences requires a minimum of 120 credits, although some degree programs may require a higher total credit count. The 12-credit College of Arts and Sciences exploratory requirement is waived for those who participate.

Students interested in this opportunity should contact their academic adviser in the College of Arts and Sciences Advising Office, or visit Pre-Law Studies for information on pre-law advising.
