JD Programs

The Juris Doctor (JD) degree program at the Law Center combines an innovative, enriching curriculum with flexible scheduling to meet the needs of qualified candidates.

Students seeking to earn a Juris Doctor (JD) degree must successfully compete 88 credits in one of our JD programs. Beyond the required coursework, students may create their own customized law school experience, choosing from a curriculum that includes an extensive array of practice-oriented offerings and opportunities for hands-on learning – including clinics, skills courses, and externships.

  • Full-Time Program – Students in the full-time program take a course load of 12-16 credits per semester and attend classes Monday through Friday. Most full-time students earn their degree in 3 years, but may accelerate to 2.5 years by attending summer sessions.
    Touro Law also offers a January start option for those students who are qualified and ready to begin classes and don’t want to wait until August.

  • Part-Time Program – Students in the 4-year part-time day program take a course load of 11 credits per semester and attend classes during the day. Students may accelerate completion of the program by one semester by attending summer sessions.

  • FlexTime JD Program - This program was designed to accommodate the schedules of students who might typically enter a part-time program but require even more flexibility for work or family obligations. Students in the FlexTime JD program will be able to complete the requirements for their degree in just under four years through a combination of online and on-campus components. The program requires on-campus classes on Sundays for the Fall and Spring semesters.
