The school of law operates on a block tuition policy. Tuition and general fees vary by course load. For 2013-14, the tuition schedule is as follows:

    • 13-16 hours - $15,470
    • 9-12 hours - $10,904
    • 8 hours and below - $1,045 per hour
    • Application fee - $55
    • Graduation fee - $150
    • Other fees - $432 per semester; $208 per summer term

Thus, a first-year full-time program of 29 hours (14 hours in the fall term, 15 hours in the spring term) would cost $15,902 per semester (including fees); a first-year part-time program of 22 hours (11 hours in the fall term, 11 hours in the spring term) would cost $11,336 per semester (including fees). Students can expect tuition and fees to increase during law school attendance.
