Career Opportunity Program

Drake Law School offers an opportunity for students to pursue a Juris Doctor (JD) degree on a part-time basis.

Drake Law School's Career Opportunity Program (COP) is intended for qualified law students who wish to earn a law degree part-time.

Program Overview

COP students have the option to enroll in a reduced course load of regular daytime classes. Students typically take 2-3 classes (6-9 credits) per semester. At any time, a COP student may elect to pursue full-time study.

Students must complete the 90-credit degree requirements within seven years of enrollment.

Apply

To apply for the Career Opportunity Program, simply follow the standard application instructions for JD applicants. Select "Career Opportunity Day Program" instead of "full-time" in the application details section of the online application.
