Importantly, admission into Albany Law School is conditional. Prior to admission to law school students must take the Law School Admissions Test (LSAT) and receive a score that is no lower than the median LSAT score for students enrolled at Albany Law School in the prior year. Also, students must have a cumulative GPA 3.3 or better in the three years of study at Union College. Failure to satisfy the LSAT or GPA requirement means students will not be eligible for the program and will have to complete a fourth year to receive a B.A. from Union College.
