To qualify, students must do the following:

• Take at least two of the following courses: Business and Law Regulation, Criminal Law, Constitutional Law, Criminal Evidence and Procedure, Healthcare Policy and Law, or Sport Law.
• Maintain a full-time undergraduate student status of at least 12 credit hours each semester
• Maintain a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.5 throughout their undergraduate years.
• Complete the Law School Admission Test (LSAT), achieving a score of at least 152, and submit their complete application.
• Complete a baccalaureate degree prior to entry into DePaul.

“We are very excited to announce this partnership with DePaul,” said Toby Arquette, dean of AU’s Dunham School of Business and Public Policy. “The agreement creates a simplified pathway to success for students from AU seeking to pursue an exciting career in the legal profession.”

“We are excited to partner with Aurora University on this program,” said Jennifer Rosato Perea, dean and professor of law at DePaul University College of Law. “We share the values of opportunity and access, and understand the transformative power of education. This program reflects those values, and we look forward to welcoming Aurora students to our DePaul Law community.”
