Program Details
With this online law degree students complete one of the only ABA-approved hybrid J.D. degree programs in the United States. Not only will you complete a practical curriculum that is relevant for all aspiring lawyers, but you will also enjoy the same resources as those completing a traditional, on-campus degree. Complete a foundational curriculum that covers many key concepts that are heavily tested on the bar exam:
- Civil procedure
- Constitutional law
- Evidence
- Torts
- Contracts
- Criminal law
To round out your online law degree, you will complete a semester-long externship in a legal setting, allowing you to put your new knowledge and skills to work in the real world.
Enjoy numerous advantages with this accredited online law school that other schools may not offer. For example, courses were designed with the assistance of professional producers, turning traditional coursework into engaging interactive video classes and conversations. In addition to the expected Socratic method, faculty teach students through active discussions and real-time questions and answers, just as students would find on-campus. A Bar Exam Preparation course is built into the curriculum.
All students are required to visit campus each year for Get Relevant Experience and Applied Learning (Get REAL) intensives.
