The JD program at the University of San Francisco will provide you with a grounding in both legal theory as well as the opportunity to hone professional skills that will help you hit the ground running as a lawyer. Our core curriculum gives all JD students a solid foundation in the knowledge and skills needed to pass the bar exam and launch a rewarding legal career. Full-time students take most of their first-year classes during the day and typically graduate in three years. During the first year, full-time students may be required to take one course per semester in the evening. During the second and third years, students have a host of options, including day or evening classes and summer courses, to fulfill their requirements. Because of the demands of class preparation and assignments, library research, and co-curricular activities, full-time students may not work more than 20 hours per week outside of school.
