The James E.

Students in the program will earn an LLB (the law degree commonly offered outside the United States) from OUC and a Bachelor of Arts in law from UA-taking the same U.S. law courses and receiving the same legal training as UA bachelor's in law students in Tucson. Law courses for the UA Bachelor of Arts will be taught in English in a flipped classroom setting during the third and fourth years of their undergraduate program.

Global faculty do not have scholarship responsibilities, but they are encouraged to participate in the scholarly life of the law school and may receive additional resources to support that work.

The final candidate will be asked to provide a copy of their diploma and/or transcript for the required credential verification.

  • Individual or family on-campus apartment housing provided by the partner university while teaching in the program
