at The University of Toledo College of Law, Allen Hersel, Ph.D., vice president for
academic affairs at Trine University, and Earl D. Brooks II, Ph.D., Trine University
president, sign an agreement establishing a 3+3 pathway to a Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree
for Trine students. Trine students in several majors will have the option to finish
their coursework at Trine after three years, with their first-year courses in The
University of Toledo College of Law completing their bachelor’s degree at Trine. The
agreement, the second such partnership at Trine, allows Trine students to complete
a J.D. in six years of combined undergraduate and graduate work, rather than the traditional
seven.
