SUNY Geneseo and the University at Buffalo (UB) School of Law have formed a collaborative agreement allowing students to accelerate their studies by completing their BA and JD degrees in six years of full-time study, saving them one year of time and tuition.
SUNY Geneseo students can choose majors in American studies, economics, English, geography, history, mathematics, philosophy, or sustainability studies. After three years at Geneseo, students transfer to UB’s School of Law. Upon completing the first-year law school curriculum, students’ credits for the year are transferred to SUNY Geneseo to complete their bachelor’s degree.
“This opportunity to build upon our strong partnership with UB expands access for SUNY Geneseo students to the experiential learning law school provides,” said SUNY Geneseo Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs Mary C. Toale. “Students’ ability to complete the undergraduate and graduate work in an accelerated format supports the SUNY system’s initiatives to support student success and reduce student debt.”
Students in the SUNY Geneseo/UB 3+3 law program can take advantage of UB School of Law offerings as early as their first year, including free LSAT preparation workshops, annual networking receptions and webinars, access to law school tours, classroom visits, and individual meetings with School of Law staff, and invitations to various School of Law programs and events.
