UMass Law said pre-law students will spend three years working toward their undergraduate degree at Springfield College before enrolling at UMass Law to take their law courses. Students will earn their bachelor’s and law degrees in six years, rather than the traditional seven, UMass Law said.

The program, UMass Law said, will help save students thousands of dollars in tuition and living expenses.
