的 法律 Education Admission Program (飞跃) provides an opportunity for 大峡谷州立大学's political science undergraduate students to earn both a bachelor's degree and a Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree in about six years of full-time study (three years of political science  studies plus three years of law school). 的 program was developed by 大峡谷州立大学’s Political Science department and 密歇根 State University College of Law (MSU Law). 飞跃 students who have met all requirements will apply to MSU Law a year early (during the junior year) and, 如果被法学院录取了, attend MSU Law and work to complete their remaining undergraduate electives with law school courses.

飞跃 is open only to students who matriculate as first-year students at Grand Valley. Students interested in 飞跃 should consult with the 飞跃 advisor for the major during freshman year to discuss and plan for the 飞跃 program. Students seeking admission to MSU Law complete a minimum of 91 credits comprised of the required undergraduate courses in their first three years of study at Grand Valley. This includes all university-level requirements as well as the requirements for the specific major and baccalaureate degree. During the fall semester of the academic year that a student plans to apply to MSU Law under 飞跃 (the student’s junior year), the student should consult with the 飞跃 advisor for the major to ensure that all university and major requirements will be met by the end of the student's junior year. GVSU will accept as transfer credits applicable to the baccalaureate degree up to 29 semester credits of course work taken at MSU Law in which the student received a grade of 2.0或更高.

To be eligible for consideration for admission to MSU Law under 飞跃, a student must be enrolled and on track to complete three-fourths of the credits (91) required for their degree, 参加法学院入学考试, and apply to MSU Law before February 1 of the law school matriculation year. Students applying to law school must meet current MSU Law admission standards and requirements, including LSAT and GPA; students should meet with the 飞跃 advisor for the major to discuss MSU Law admission standards. Students applying to MSU Law must obtain two letters of recommendation from members of the GVSU political science faculty, with one of these letters written by the GVSU political science Pre-law or 飞跃 advisor; and a character and fitness record that suggests that the applicant has the requisite maturity and character needed for success in law school.

MSU Law will consider a student’s application from the 飞跃 program, but admission is not guaranteed.
