​Vermont Law & Graduate School (VLGS) 3+2 and 3+3 Dual Degree Programs

The UVM-VLGS 3+2 and 3+3 Programs provide high-achieving students with an opportunity to achieve a Bachelor’s degree (B.A. or B.S.) and a Juris Doctor (JD) degree in a total of 5 or 6 years. The program is available to undergraduate students pursuing a Bachelor’s degree. UVM students interested in pursuing a dual degree with VLGS are encouraged to pursue an undergraduate course of study that emphasizes critical reading, analytic, and expository writing skills.

Students complete 3 years of undergraduate study at UVM, then matriculate at Vermont Law & Graduate School where they complete 2 or 3 years of approved coursework for the JD degree from VLGS and are enrolled as full-time students.

Admission to the program occurs at the end of a student’s first year at UVM. UVM students may apply for the dual degree program during their sophomore year if they demonstrate they can complete their undergraduate degree requirements by the end of their junior year.

Students must be enrolled as full-time students during the duration of their course of study at UVM. As students will complete their major requirements in a compressed timeframe, it is vital that students are planning how to complete all the requirements from the beginning of their first year at UVM. Students should review the academic plan for their major and connect with the appropriate major advisor.

  • Students enrolled into one of the UVM-VLGS Programs will be admitted to VLGS and matriculate as full-time students if they meet admissions criteria.
  • Students enrolled into one of the UVM-VLGS Programs should apply for a Leave of Absence with UVM for their final year. Students should remain connected to their UVM advisor during their first year at VLGS/final year at UVM to make sure they are meeting the appropriate UVM degree requirements and satisfying all the intent to graduate processes. 
  • Credits from the first year at VLGS are transferred back to UVM to allow completion of the undergraduate degree from UVM (must comply with UVM's transfer credit policies and may require advisor approval to meet specific UVM degree requirements). There are a select few VLGS courses that are pre-approved as meeting UVM's Catamount Core requirements. Please review UVM's Office of the Registrar's website for specifics. 
  • Students who meet all requirements of the UVM-VLGS Program will be awarded the appropriate Bachelor’s degree from UVM and a JD degree from VLGS.
  • Students enrolled into one of the UVM-VLGS Programs, but choose not to complete the law degree after the first year of enrollment at VLGS can apply to have their credits transferred back to UVM for the completion of the Bachelor’s degree (must comply with UVM's transfer credit policies and may require advisor approval to meet specific UVM degree requirements). 
  • Please visit UVM's Office of the Registrar's website for additional information about requirements, the application process and timeline.
