The FIU College of Law offers both a full-time/day division and a part-time/evening division. Ordinarily, full-time students will earn the J.D. degree in three years and part-time students in four years (including summer sessions). Students are admitted to either the full-time/day division or the part-time/evening division, and generally may not transfer from one division to the other or take required courses in the other division.

Academic Programs

The mission of the FIU College of Law emphasizes preparation of students for ethical and effective general practice of law, community service, and international and comparative law. Beyond the core curriculum, this mission is reflected in four programmatic specialties: the Legal Skills and Values Program , the International and Comparative Law Program, the Clinical Program; and the Community Service Program . In addition, the College of Law will conduct an annual summer session for both full-time/day and part-time/evening division students.
