The school requires 90 credit hours of instruction for graduation. Under the hybrid program, 57 credit hours are completely online. Apart from a required orientation session, the other credit hours will be satisfied through attendance for on-campus instructions during, at most, two long weekend periods during the fall and spring semesters and one long weekend during the summer session. Notably, after the first year, all summer semester classes are completely online as are all classes during the last year of study.
In view of the demands of work and other commitments, the online component of classes is conducted in an asynchronous manner. That means that students complete classes on their own schedules. Apart from meetings with instructors or other students that may be required, students work at times when they are able to do so. Attendance at pre-scheduled classes is not required.

Please note that the curriculum is in development in preparation for a revised bar exam as developed by the National Conference of Bar Examiners and that some changes may be made to the curriculum.
