Connect with Your Pre-Law Advisor
Students intending to pursuing one of UW-Stout's 3+3 law programs are strongly encouraged to contact UW-Stout's Pre-Law Advisor Tina Lee (leetina@uwstout.edu) as early as possible to plan their path to and prepare for law school.
Program Participation & Eligibility
Participation in the 3+3 program does not by itself guarantee law school admission. Students in the 3+3 Law Program must still apply for and be accepted to the law school under the same criteria as all other applicants. Students in the 3+3 program must:
- Register and sit for the Law School Admission Test (LSAT), typically during the fall of their junior year
- Apply for admission to Mitchell Hamline School of Law by March of their junior year and gain acceptance in the fall class.
- Complete and transfer back to UW-Stout 28 credits of successful law school work with a grade of C- or better.
