What will I learn?

With an emphasis on critical reading skills, logical reasoning, and analytical writing, the English degree prepares students for the rigorous demands of law school and sets them up for success on the LSAT. Working with controlled class sizes and personal attention, the English faculty sharpen students’ intellectual skills, making this the ideal undergraduate degree for future lawyers.

Entry requirements

For international students

Admission to the program as a freshman requires an ACT of 25 (SAT of 980) and a high school GPA of 3.4; admission of transfer and ICT students requires a GPA of 3.4, thus seeking to attract higher performing students. Any University of Akron English majors may apply for inclusion into the 3+3 program at the same time they apply for admission to the English BA program, or anytime while enrolled as an English major at the University of Akron. Admission to the BA/JD accelerated program does not constitute admission to the Law School, which requires a separate application during the third year of the undergraduate degree.

*There may be different IELTS requirements depending on your chosen course.
