Full-Time J.D.
Our full-time J.D. program is both rigorous and comprehensive. First-year courses provide you with a strong foundation in core legal subjects. Our legal clinics, externships, and simulation courses offer hands-on, practical training. Full-time students typically take 15 credit hours a semester and complete their course of study in three years.
Part-Time J.D.
Our part-time J.D. program allows working professionals and others to earn a law degree at their own pace. Part-time students typically take 8-10 credit hours a semester and complete their course of study in four to five years.
Two-Year J.D. for Lawyers Trained Outside U.S.
With our two-year J.D. program, highly qualified lawyers who have completed law studies outside the U.S. may be eligible to earn up to 29 hours of advanced standing credit. Unlike an LL.M., a J.D. degree qualifies you to take the bar exam in every U.S. state.
