J.D.—Juris Doctor: The School of Law offers a full-time day program leading to the Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree. To earn the J.D., a student must successfully complete 90 hours of course work over six semesters, including at least four semesters of study in residence at the School of Law. In each of these semesters, students must register for a minimum of 12 credit hours. In addition, students must successfully complete a minimum of 10 credit hours each semester. A student may graduate in two and one-half years by enrolling as a full-time student in two summer sessions. Credit toward the J.D. can be given only for course work successfully completed while enrolled in law school.
