SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Le Moyne College students can pursue early admission to Syracuse University’s College of Law under an agreement the two schools have announced.
It’s one of two new academic agreements that the schools announced in a news release on the Syracuse website.
The schools also forged an agreement to expand “curriculum offerings” at Syracuse’s School of Information Studies (iSchool) and Le Moyne’s Madden School of Business to benefit students at both schools.

Early admission
The new law-school agreement, a program known in higher education as a 3+3, allows Le Moyne undergraduates to complete both their undergraduate degrees and their juris doctor (J.D.) degrees in six years.
“This partnership will allow Syracuse’s College of Law to attract undergraduate students whose academic excellence positions them for great success in law school,” Michele Wheatly, Syracuse’s vice chancellor and provost, said in the release. “It will also encourage Le Moyne students to pursue a legal education here at Syracuse, where our rigorous and innovative curriculum prepares them for career success in the legal industry. This partnership is a win-win for Syracuse and Le Moyne, but, more importantly, an excellent and rare opportunity for Le Moyne students to have a jump start on achieving a legal education.”
Curriculum modules
Under the iSchool-Madden agreement, Syracuse and Le Moyne are expanding their “curriculum offerings” so Madden students can learn about data science and information-security management from Syracuse faculty, while Syracuse students can learn about health-information systems and enterprise systems from Le Moyne faculty.
The “fusion of complementary curricular offerings from both institutions will introduce” students to graduate programs that prepare them for careers in “high-demand fields,” per the Syracuse release.
These curriculum modules include certificates of advanced study in specialty areas such as information-security management and data science, both Syracuse programs; along with enterprise systems and health-information systems, both Le Moyne programs.
The first students could begin exchanging curriculum modules in fall 2017.
