Evening Program at St. Mary's University School of Law
Welcome
St. Mary’s University School of Law offers a demanding Evening Law Program accessible to men and women who are unable to attend day classes for a variety of reasons.
Evening law students will begin their legal education with considerably more responsibilities – at work and at home - than day students. These responsibilities require an evening student to embark on their time in law school committed and dedicated to succeed. St. Mary’s is committed to offering evening students an excellent education and a range of services for evening students, including advice on career counseling through its Career Services office. St. Mary’s prides itself on student access to the members of the faculty and evening division students will find their teachers readily accessible. Graduation requirements are the same for students in both programs.
First-year law students in the evening program attend classes Monday through Thursday during evening hours. The first-year course schedule is mandated for both evening and day students. Evening students will complete their first year of law school in three semesters, including one class taught in a summer session. After completion of the first year of law school, students should be able to obtain their degrees in four years, including some summer school study. All students must successfully complete 90 credit hours, so a student taking an average of 10 hours per semester will complete his or her degree in four and one-half years without taking any summer school classes after the first year is completed. .
Evening division students may move to the day program and day students to the evening program after the first year of law school in complete. All students must finish their degrees in seven years, including summer.
