Oakland University, Wayne State Mark Law School Partnership

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

An event takes place Monday at Oakland University in suburban Detroit.

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 University for classes taken there and to Wayne State for classes taken at the law school.

Wayne State's campus is in Detroit. Oakland University's campus is in the Oakland County cities of Auburn Hills and Rochester Hills.
