First-Year Students
Full-Time Program - Regular 3-Year JD Program:
Students in these programs take a course load totaling 12-16 credits per semester and attend classes Monday through Friday. Most full-time students complete the JD program within 3 years, but may accelerate to 2 ½ years by attending summer sessions.
Why Wait? Touro Law has a January start option available for those students who would prefer to start in January rather than wait until August. Touro Law is committed to providing students with flexible options to earn their degree.
Part-Time Programs
FlexTime JDSM Program
This program was designed to accommodate the schedules of students who might typically enter a part-time program but require even more flexibility for work or family obligations. Students in the FlexTime JD program will be able to complete the requirements for their degree in just under four years through a combination of online and on-campus components.
The program requires on-campus classes on Sundays for the Fall and Spring semesters. The remainder of classwork is completed asynchronously, allowing students to complete the work when and where it fits their individual schedules. Subsequently, FlexTime students will be able to take up to 20 credits of entirely online courses during the third and final years. Learn more in the Course Planning Guide.
Four-Year Part-Time Day
Students in the 4-year part-time day program take a course load of 11 credits per semester and attend classes during the day.
Students may accelerate completion of the program by one semester by attending summer sessions.
