Length of the Program

The law program is designed to be completed in four years (eight semesters). A student admitted to and enrolled in a degree program usually registers for 15 to 19 credits each semester. The required minimum load for all students is 12 credits per semester, and the maximum load is 20 credits per semester, with certain exceptions.

Students must complete all degree requirements within eight years of admission to PMU as an undergraduate student, including leave time from the university.
