Widener Law’s 3-Year Program is designed for full-time students who can attend classes during the day. If you opt to earn your Juris Doctor (J.D.) in three years, you will attend classes five days a week through the first year, and you will be prohibited from working more than 20 hours a week throughout the length of the program.
Degree Requirements Completion of the Juris Doctor degree requires a minimum of 88 credit hours of coursework. Both the
Delaware and
Harrisburg curricula are designed to help you develop a fundamental understanding of law and the legal process. You may focus your studies on particular aspects of the law by selecting elective courses related to your interests or by pursuing a
dual-degree or
certificate.
