School of Law<br />
Each year The Fu Foundation School<br />
of Engineering and Applied Science may<br />
nominate two highly qualified juniors<br />
for a joint program with the <strong>Columbia</strong><br />
<strong>University</strong> School of Law, enabling students<br />
to complete the requirements for<br />
the degrees of Bachelor of Science and<br />
Doctor of Jurisprudence in six years<br />
instead of seven. Students should speak<br />
to the Office of Pre-Professional Advising<br />
in the fall semester to express their interest<br />
and prepare to take the LSAT by<br />
February of their junior year. The application<br />
process is conducted March through<br />

Bachelor of Science and Master of<br />
International Affairs in five years instead<br />
of six. Not only an excellent academic<br />
record but also maturity, fluency in an<br />

experience will determine admission<br />
to this program. Applications are<br />
processed in the junior year by the<br />
