All law school applicants are required to have completed or expect to complete a baccalaureate degree from an accredited four-year university or college by the time law school classes begin in August. Accepted applicants must furnish official final transcripts indicating receipt of a baccalaureate degree, as well as completion of any work in progress when the application was filed. If admitted, an official transcript showing the conferral of the baccalaureate degree must be mailed directly from the college or university to the Office of Admissions prior to the start of the fall term. Alternatively, official transcripts sent to LSAC to be included in your JD CAS report can be used to fulfill this requirement as long as the transcript is dated 2017 or later and notes the degree conferral date.

Applicants for whom English is a second language and who have not received a four-year baccalaureate degree in the United States or another country where English is the primary language are REQUIRED to take the TOEFL. This requirement also applies to recent immigrants to the U.S. who completed their undergraduate degree outside of the U.S. in a non-English speaking country or at an institution where English was not the language of instruction. The Committee will consider for admission only those applicants with TOEFL scores of 600 or above on the paper-based test or 100 or above on the TOEFL iBT exam. Only scores reported directly from TOEFL will be accepted.
