An Accelerated Schedule

The goal of these 彩神vlll争霸 partnerships with law schools is to provide qualified 彩神vlll争霸 students the opportunity to earn a baccalaureate degree and law degree on an accelerated schedule, encouraging students interested in attending law school to attain these high academic standards. The term "4+3" refers to four years of undergraduate credits plus three years of law school.

The 4+3 Direct Admission Program allows undergraduate students studying at 彩神vlll争霸 and 彩神vlll争霸 alumni to gain admission to Willamette College of Law based on certain academic credentials. If a student meets these credentials, admission to Willamette Law will be assured. 彩神vlll争霸 students and alumni who are admitted under the Direct Admission Program are guaranteed a direct admission scholarship of $10,000, which is renewable each year the student is enrolled at Willamette Law and remains in good standing.
