Graduates of an in-person foreign law degree program may apply for admission consideration through the Advanced Standing J.D. Program (ASJD). The ASJD allows the potential to transfer up to 29 credits from the in-person law degree program towards the traditional J.D. Program. The unique opportunity may dramatically reduce the time (two-years) and cost of acquiring a J.D., while allowing students the same benefits of a traditional three-year J.D.
Students admitted to the Advanced Standing J.D. program must complete all J.D. curricular requirements, but have the flexibility to customize their academic program to meet their individual career goals.
For students who wish to take a U.S. bar examination, the ASJD offers preparation greater than a one-year LL.M. degree, while adding only one additional year of study.
