Need to Attend Law School Part-Time?
Law school is challenging, and it should be, but we offer a variety of schedule options to fit the way you live and work including part-time schedule options that begin in January. Our schedule options include:
Classes Beginning in September:
- Traditional three-year full-time with summers off
- Two-year accelerated
- Three-year part-time
Classes Beginning in January:
- Four-year part-time (weekends & evenings)
The traditional, two-year, and three-year part-time schedule options begin in September, while the four-year part-time schedule begins in January. We have a “rolling admissions” process, which means we process law school applications when they’re received.
