Bachelor's Degree
The Juris Doctor (J.D.) program offers comprehensive legal training. First-year students complete 30 semester credits in their initial year. In subsequent years, students must fulfill 26 credits of advanced coursework, with 14 credits required during the second year. To graduate, students need 90 total credits (56 mandatory and 34 elective), including courses that satisfy upper-level writing and experiential learning requirements (6 credits). Some first-year students requiring extra legal analysis training must take a second-year Legal Analysis course, which counts as 3 required credits instead of elective credits (totaling 59 required and 31 elective credits).
