Designed around the needs of traditionally-scheduled working professionals looking to complement their current careers or begin a new one, classes combine in-person learning options with remote classes and generally meet between 6:15 and 9:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday.

Students enrolled in the part-time evening hybrid track only need to attend two nights on campus a week for the first two years of the program, with remote classes offered two additional nights per week. They must complete 87 semester credit hours, typically by taking 10-11 credits per fall and spring semester, with the option to take 8-12 credits per semester.

Part-Time Evening Hybrid Highlights:

  • For the first two years of study (fall and spring semesters), Part-Time Hybrid students attend in-person classes two nights per week, with synchronous and asynchronous classes offered two additional nights per week (all classes are conducted Monday-Thursday).
  • After two years, students choose courses to meet their individual curricular and scheduling needs. This may include taking most courses in-person or continuing to take a combination of in-person and hybrid classes.

  • Admission to the Bar

    Each jurisdiction sets its own criteria for admission to the bar and to sit for its bar examination, including an applicant’s legal education. As graduates of an ABA-accredited law school, graduates of Catholic Law should satisfy most jurisdictions’ current legal education requirements and thus be eligible for admission to the bar in most states. That said, students applying to the Part-Time Hybrid JD Program should check with the jurisdictions in which they may seek admission to the bar to ensure that graduation from this program will make them eligible for taking the bar exam and being admitted to the bar in those jurisdictions. For example, because of limits New York places on the use of distance education, graduates of the Part-Time Hybrid JD Program cannot currently sit for the bar exam in New York without acquiring a waiver from the New York Court of Appeals. Catholic Law will assist any students wishing to take the bar exam in New York with the application for a waiver from the Court.

Part-Time On Your Time Track

Recognizing that schedules for working professionals and parents are often in flux, Catholic Law works with students to design course schedules that meet their individual needs. This option allows part-time students to take a combination of day and evening classes, including both in-person and remote options.
