Academic Policies and Procedures

Admissions

Admission to the College of Law is determined by the applicant's potential for success in law school, the legal profession and other law-related careers. An applicant's credentials are measured against others applying to the same class.

Applicants must hold a bachelor's degree from a qualified institution, have an acceptable grade point average and a satisfactory score on the Law School Admission Test. The median LSAT score and undergraduate grade point average are approximately 157 and 3.57 (4.00 scale), respectively. Approximately 200 students are admitted each August and January.

Financial Aid

Financial aid for law study is available through the College of Law and federal sources. Nearly all College of Law financial aid is awarded on the basis of financial need. However, the college offers a number of merit-based scholarships.
