Dual Degree in Law
Andrew Morgan, Advisor
Students participating in the cooperative law program will complete all general
education requirements and requirements for a major at Birmingham-Southern College
before continuing their studies at Cumberland School of Law at Samford University.
Students in their junior year at the College will be eligible to apply to the Cumberland
program after completing ¾ of the coursework required for a bachelor’s degree.
Admission to the Cumberland program will be by means of the normal law school
application process that requires, among other things, a Law School Admission Test
(LSAT) score and two letters of recommendation, one of which should be from the
chairperson of the student’s major department. A student seeking admission to the
program should have an LSAT score equal to or better than the median LSAT score of
the current first-year Cumberland class and have a cumulative Birmingham-
Southern College grade point average of 3.000 or better.
After successful completion of the first year of the program at Cumberland, Birmingham-
Southern College shall award the student the appropriate bachelor’s degree. Upon
successful completion of the remaining requirements at Cumberland, the student will be
awarded the J.D. agree.
