Philosophy and an Accelerated Pre-Law Program
A student majoring in Philosophy may participate in a 3 - 3 course of study with any accredited three-year law school program. In a 3 - 3 plan, the student can complete all of his/her core curriculum and major and minor requirements in three years at Xavier and then apply 30 credit hours earned in law school as his/her electives for the Xavier B.A. program. The procedure used to transfer the law credit hours is the same as the one used for transferring courses taken at another university. The student must, however, take and pass the philosophy comprehensives before entering law school in order to earn the B.A. degree.
Thus at the end of four years, the student will have completed all of his/her requirements for graduation from Xavier with a B.A. degree, and he/she will have completed one year of law school.
