Northeastern Law’s FlexJD is a part-time law degree program combining flexible online coursework with scheduled in-person instruction.
If you have a strong academic background and professional obligations that would make a full-time program challenging, this ABA-approved program is ideally suited to your needs and lifestyle. You’ll complete online coursework on your own schedule and commute to the Boston campus for routinely scheduled in-person instruction. The part-time schedule is spread over four years rather than the full-time, three-year JD program.
Northeastern Law is ranked No. 1 for practical training and No. 1 for public interest by The National Jurist. It is also one of the nation’s most diverse law schools. Fill out the form to learn more about Northeastern Law and the part-time FlexJD program.
