Deadlines for transfer, visiting and dual-degree applicants may vary.

Full-Time or Part-Time

Students may apply to the full-time JD program or the part-time (day) JD program. Applicants may not apply to both programs. Students in the full-time program complete their degree in three academic years, while students in the part-time (day) program typically complete their degree in four academic years. Applications for first-year students are accepted for the fall semester only.
