The result is that students and\/or their families save the entire cost of the fourth year of college.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Florida State has a similar arrangement for its own students. This is the first 3+3 program between the FSU College of Law and another university.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur partnership with one of the nation\u2019s top law schools will enable students to receive a first-class education, save an entire year of the cost of college and begin their law careers a year earlier,\u201d said Elliot Vittes, UCF\u2019s interim vice provost and dean of undergraduate studies. \u201cWe encourage interested students with majors from around the university to consider this opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>UCF\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/academicsuccess.ucf.edu\/phpladvising\/\">Office of Pre-Health and Pre-Law Advising<\/a> will have more information available about the new partnership later this spring and may be contacted at 407-823-3033.<\/p>\n<p>To learn more about the 3+3 law school admission requirements, interested students also can contact the FSU Law Office of Admissions at 850-644-3787 or <a href=\"mailto:admissions@law.fsu.edu\">admissions@law.fsu.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Florida State University College of Law will begin accepting applications for fall 2015 admission from college juniors at the University of Central Florida as part of a new 3+3 program.
