Juris Doctor
Part Time
The part-time program is designed for students who want to be employed for more than 20 hours per week during law school or, for other reasons, need a more flexible course load.
All courses are taken in regular sections with full-time students; there are no special part-time classes. The program is structured so that the J.D. can be earned in four to five calendar years.
In the first year, part-time students can self-select their sections of required courses so as to concentrate them in blocks of hours during the day. Part-time students must complete the same curricular requirements as full-time students. Students must enroll for a minimum of 9 and a maximum of 12 credit hours per semester.
Although summer classes are not mandatory, part-time students who desire to complete their courses in four years may attend classes during summer semesters in order to complete the 90-credit-hour degree requirements.
Please see Required Courses for additional course sequence information.
| "The part-time law program at Regent University provides an unmatched opportunity for professional individuals who seek to broaden their horizons or change their life's direction. The program is rigorous and requires a tremendous level of personal commitment on the part of the law student. I have found this part-time law program among the most challenging endeavors that I have ever undertaken, but it is also among the most rewarding." Dan Tanner, CDR USN |
