Full-Time Combined
The combined day and evening program is designed to meet the needs of students who wish to complete law school in three years, but who prefer to take as many classes as possible in the evening. The program may be elected by any applicant.
Students in the combined program take three courses at night, as well as one or two day courses each semester, completing 22-30 credit hours in their first year (11-12 or 15 credits each semester during the first year).
Students in the combined program who complete all five courses open to them in both the fall and winter semester will have 30 credits at the end of the first year, allowing them to complete their degree in three years by maintaining a full-time schedule during their second and third years.
