| Applicants should hold a bachelor's degree from an accredited institution. Under exceptional circumstances, students who have completed 90 credit hours at an accredited institution may also be considered. A degree from a non-U.S. institution is acceptable if it is academically equivalent to a bachelor's degree awarded by an accredited institution in the United States.
No particular undergraduate curriculum is required; however, the Admissions Committee favors courses and programs that are the most intellectually challenging. In addition, the Admissions Committee expects that students will be knowledgeable about the government and history of the United States and the foundations of modern civilization. Above all, prospective students should demonstrate proficiency in analytical reasoning, as well as strength in oral and written communication.
Applicants must register with the Law School Data Assembly Service (LSDAS) and take the LSAT, which is given each year in February, June, September/October, and December. Students may register for any test date and still be considered for the upcoming class, as long as their applications can be completed in time. In the event that an application remains incomplete, it may be rolled over to the following year at no charge.
