NYU School of Law J.D. Students Exchange Program
NYU Law participates in exchange programs with 11 universities located on 4 continents. Each program allows 2 to 4 NYU students per year to take courses at a foreign institution. Exchange students have regular access to all of the host institution’s facilities, including law libraries and campus resources.
J.D. students may participate in an exchange program during either semester of their 2L year or during the Fall semester of their 3L year. Students who transferred to NYU School of Law from another law school are only eligible to participate in an exchange during the Fall of their 3L year. Exchange students will receive credit for the courses taken at an exchange institution; however, these courses will not count towards GPA and will appear on transcripts as credits earned through the exchange program at the partner institution.
