Widener Law’s 4-Year Program is designed for students who wish to earn their degrees on a part-time basis. Classes meet three nights a week, and upper class students typically maintain that pace so long as they attend at least one summer session. The 4-Year Program’s daytime schedule varies from year to year.
Degree Requirements To earn the Juris Doctor degree, you must complete 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.
