3-Year Year-Round Schedule
Students complete their program in about three years (8 consecutive semesters) by attending year-round with an average of 12 credits per semester. This schedule is the most popular choice among Cooley students. Many students find that this schedule creates a perfect balance between completing their degree in a typical three years but with time to participate in externships, extra and co-curricular activities throughout the year to achieve a well-rounded law school experience.
