Pre-Law Information

There is an exception to the Bachelor’s degree requirement: the 3-3 Law Program. Creighton University’s 3-3 Law Program offers pre-law students the opportunity to complete their Bachelor’s degree and Juris Doctor degree in six years, instead of the typical seven. The 3-3 Law option is available through both the Heider College of Business and the Creighton College of Arts and Sciences. Students in the 3-3 Law Program must complete their Juris Doctor degree at Creighton School of Law.

Students spend their first three years at Creighton University in the Heider College of Business or the College of Arts and Sciences. There, they follow a specific 3-3 curriculum for their major. In the junior year, students apply to Creighton School of Law, following the same application process as regular law school applicants. If accepted, students forgo their senior year and start law school at Creighton School of Law. After successfully completing the first year of law school with grades of “C” or better, they student is awarded the bachelor’s degree. Two years later, the student will complete the Juris Doctor degree.
