Program Details

Prepare for a career that you have always dreamed of with this online law degree. The first of its kind to offer real-time classes, students enjoy a unique, highly interactive curriculum in an online law degree accredited by the American Bar Association.  

Offering the same rigorous curriculum that is found in the traditional, on-campus J.D. program, this program parallels the residential classroom. Learn from the same faculty in courses that are a distinctive blend of live and self-paced learning, so you can interact with professors and classmates. Using the traditional Socratic method, courses completed with the interactive learning platform cover such foundational topics as:

  • Contracts
  • Civil Procedure
  • Criminal Law
  • Torts
  • Constitutional Law

While completing this flexible, part-time online law degree, you will still benefit from the same support resources, including receiving the Helix Bar Prep program free of charge. You can even join student organizations.

A unique online joint J.D./M.B.A. program is also available.
