If I start law school in the part-time program, may I transfer to the full-time program at some point and still complete my degree in a total of three years?
Yes. Students who complete their first semester as part-time students may transfer to the full-time program after the first semester of first year with the permission of the Dean of Students. Those students will continue to take their classes in the evening during the second semester of the first year, but will carry a full-time course load during that second semester. Those students will then take a 4-credit course during the summer following the first year to make up the credits they missed in the first semester of first year. At the start of the second year, those students will be full-time students and may take their classes in the day or evening. Students who transfer from the part-time program to the full-time program after the first semester (and who take the 4-credit summer course following first year) may complete their degrees in a total of three years.
