\u201cStudents can earn a bachelor\u2019s degree from Austin Peay and a JD from the University of Memphis in six years, saving an entire year of undergraduate tuition and lost earning potential,\u201d Schaffzin said.<\/p>\n

\u201cMoreover, the three plus three program will increase the number of high-performing undergraduates from Middle Tennessee studying at Memphis Law, while improving Austin Peay\u2019s ability to retain and graduate these students,\u201d stated Schaffzin.<\/p>\n

Young, APSU assistant professor of Political Science and Public Management.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf a student is accepted to law school and successfully completes the first year (30 credit hours), Austin Peay State University will confer a bachelor\u2019s degree,\u201d Young said. \u201cIf a student does not get accepted to law school by the end of their junior year, that student simply continues with degree work at APSU and is encouraged to apply again.\u201d <\/p>\n
