Incredible Value

Flexible Program Options

The JD Day Division offers both full-time and reduced schedule options. Courses are offered primarily during the day. The Day Division is designed to be completed in three years; however, all students have 84 months to complete their degree.

The part-time program offers courses in the evening and is intended to be completed in four years. From its origins as a night school throughout its growth into the top public law school in the Northeast, UConn Law has continued to serve students whose jobs and other daytime commitments require a part-time, evening class schedule. Evening Division students can participate fully in campus life and enroll in clinics scheduled with their needs in mind

Committed to Diversity

At the UConn School of Law we strive to celebrate and support each member of our community so that all students know they belong. We bring our commitment to excellence through diversity, equity and inclusion into our classrooms, offices and public spaces while we work to fully realize our core values of racial justice and respect for cultural differences.
