Accordion: COA for SJD

SJD Tuition

SJD tuition is charged at the full-time JD academic year rate applicable to the year in which you are admitted, and then divided by four, the four payments are made for the first four semesters of your study at GW Law. For example, if you are admitted in either fall 2018 or spring 2019 semester, you pay the full-time JD tuition for 2017-2018, $60,790, divided into four equal payments of $15,197.50, one for each of the first four semesters of your enrollment in the SJD program.

If you apply for loans, the living expense portion of the COA is the same as that of our Part-Time LLM students.

Required Course Load

Graduate law students must be enrolled at least half-time (5-8 credits) in each semester for which they are requesting loans. Any enrollment change may result in financial aid changes.
