Direct Law Admission Programs

Stetson Law has partnered with several institutions to offer direct admission opportunities, commonly known as 4+3 or 3 + 3 programs. Students who meet program requirements are automatically admitted to Stetson Law's JD program upon completion of their bachelor's degree. Students admitted under these agreements will receive a generous partial tuition scholarship.
