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.
