Entrance Requirements

Entrance requirements for non-degree students are the same as those for degree candidates:

U.S. Law School Graduates

• BA or equivalent degree from a regionally accredited college or university and
• JD or equivalent degree from a law school that is a member of the Association of American Law Schools (AALS) or is accredited by the American Bar Association (ABA)

Non-U.S. Law School Graduates

• LLB in good academic standing
• English proficiency as reflected on the TOEFL or IELTS exam*
  • Score of 100 IBT or 600 PBT on the TOEFL, or
  • Score of 7.0 or higher for the IELTS

*Applicants with a prior degree earned in the U.S. or elsewhere but in the medium of the English language are exempt from submitting a test score.

Non-degree students who subsequently apply for and are granted admission to one of the graduate programs as a degree candidate may have the credits earned at the law school applied toward degree requirements. However, admission as a degree candidate is not guaranteed. Enrollment in individual courses as a non-degree student will also depend on space availability.
