Admissions
NYU School of Law is committed to enrolling a student body from a broad spectrum of society, with the strongest combination of qualifications and the greatest potential to contribute to the diversity and dynamism of the Law School community. Students are admitted to the Juris Doctor (J.D.) Program only on a full-time basis and only for the fall semester. Applicants must be at least eighteen years old and hold a baccalaureate degree from a regionally accredited college or university to be eligible to enroll in the Juris Doctor (J.D.) program.
The admissions process is highly selective. The Committee on Admissions seeks to enroll those students whose applications present the strongest qualifications predicting academic success at NYU School of Law and the ability to contribute to the diversity and dynamism of the Law School community. The Law School allows students who have completed the first year of study at other U.S. law schools to apply to transfer to NYU School of Law; law students from other U.S. law schools who have completed the first two years of study may apply to visit during their third years as visiting/non-matriculating students.
NYU Law's Graduate Division is among the largest and most intellectually diverse in the nation, furthering the Law School's commitment to global legal education. Whether studying in New York City, in Singapore or online, students benefit greatly from our faculty’s commitment to teaching and pioneering research.
Prospective students with both domestic and foreign legal training may choose from an array of degree and certificate program:
- LL.M. in New York
- Dual LL.M. in Singapore
- Executive LL.M. in Taxation
- Doctor of Juridical Science (J.S.D.)
- Advanced Professional Certificates
The Master of Studies in Law (M.S.L.) in Law and Jewish Civilization is open to prospective students with and without prior legal education.
