To meet the varying schedules of today’s busy professionals, the Boyd School of Law offers three programs leading to the Juris Doctor degree: the full-time program leading to a degree in three years, and part-time day and part-time evening programs leading to a degree in four years. Students also have the benefit of learning in small classes (we rarely have classes of more than 60 students in the day or 40 students in the evening) in which they can actively participate and get to know classmates and faculty. A total of 89 credit hours are required to graduate.
