Part-Time (Standard) Schedule

This is Cooley's trademark schedule, designed to offer a manageable schedule for both working and nonworking students.

Students selecting this option attend law school part-time for three years (36 months). There are four courses (12 credits) each term for the first year. During the second and third years, students take nine credits each term. The third year allows for elective concentrations.

This schedule is also offered on weekends.
