Pettit College of Law at Ohio Northern; Capital University Law School; Southern Illinois University School of Law; Chase College of Law at Northern Kentucky University; and Cooley Law School at Western Michigan University.
The University holds an articulation agreement for preferred admission as well as a 3+3 study plan with Appalachian School of Law.
Our History/Pre-Law graduates have also been successful in pursuing graduate degrees in many excellent graduate schools in the US and abroad such as the University of York, University of Kentucky, University of Louisville, University of Tennessee, Western Carolina University, and Regent University. They have also gone on to study at established seminaries such as Emmanuel Christian Seminary, and Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.
