Accelerated 3+3 Law Program

Earn a B.A. from Wartburg and a J.D. from the University of Iowa in Six Years

Wartburg College and the University of Iowa Law School have joined forces for the 3+3 Program.  The program allows a junior at Wartburg to apply for admission to Iowa Law’s Juris Doctor (JD) Program.  If admitted to Iowa Law, the students would not attend Wartburg for their senior year.  Instead, they would attend Iowa Law as a first year student and would satisfy the remaining requirements for their Wartburg degree if they successfully completed their first year of law school.  If they did not successfully complete their first year, they could return to Wartburg to fulfill whatever requirements remained.

The Iowa Law School and Wartburg have always had close ties and this further solidifies our special relationship. In addition to attracting highly motivated and qualified students to Wartburg, this program would allow students to complete their education in six years instead of seven.
