OU, WSU mark law school partnership

ROCHESTER HILLS (AP) — Oakland University and Wayne State University are celebrating a new law school partnership.

An event to mark the agreement took place Monday at Oakland University in Rochester.

Traditionally, earning a bachelor’s degree followed by a law degree would total seven years.

With the agreement, students will transfer 30 credits from courses at Wayne State University Law School back to Oakland University to meet bachelor’s degree requirements.

Tuition and fees will be paid to Oakland for classes taken there and to Wayne State for classes taken at the law school.
