| Q: |
How much credit will the Law Center accept? |

|
| A: |
Students from ABA-accredited law schools may be awarded advanced standing for up to 43 credits. Students from non-ABA-accredited law schools that are state-accredited may be awarded advanced standing for no more than 29 credits, representing one-third of the total credits required for graduation from Touro. In either case, only course grades of C or higher are transferable and only the credits, not the grades, are transferred. |
