BC Law currently offers "3+3" or accelerated degree program partnerships with Boston College and with Scranton University. These programs allow applicants who meet certain criteria to spend their undergraduate senior year as a first-year student at BC Law, which means they can earn their undergraduate and law degrees in six years instead of seven—and save a year of tuition costs.
