This program allows ANTH majors on the BA track to complete many of their university requirements and all of their ANTH courses in three years. In year four, they go on to their first year law school courses, and if those are completed successfully, those are counted as completing their bachelor’s degree at Kent State. Graduates then complete their last two years of law school to get their law degree. This allows students to get both degrees within six years, saving both time and money.
Pairing anthropology with a law degree is a powerful combination. Anthropology provides a wide lens of what it means to be human, preparing students to thrive in an increasingly multidisciplinary and multicultural world. A number of our graduates have gone on to earn law degrees and the 3+3 program will allow students to do that more quickly.
We currently have 3+3 programs with Cleveland State University School of Law, University of Akron School of Law, and Case Western Reserve School of Law.
