ABA Increases Number of Online Credit Hours Allowable for Law Students
08/15/2018
Newsflash IU McKinney students! The American Bar Association has doubled from 15 to 30 the number of online credit hours students may take as part of their juris doctor degrees starting with the 2018-2019 academic year.
IU McKinney and McKinney Law Online are ready. Students looking for increased flexibility in their law study may choose from more than 20 carefully designed online courses covering a broad range of required and elective subjects. And new courses are regularly added to the online curriculum.
McKinney Law Online relies primarily on full-time, tenured law faculty, who have built their courses in one-on-one partnership with professional course designers at Indiana University. These courses are mostly asynchronous, allowing substantial study flexibility, and online instructors at IU McKinney consistently receive top student evaluations for their teaching and course design. Courses are available to IU McKinney students pursuing the J.D., Master of Laws, or Master of Jurisprudence degrees, as well as to visiting law students seeking to earn credits to transfer toward their degree programs at their own institutions.
Current McKinney students should consult the Student Handbook for the current curricular rules regarding the number of online credits.
IU McKinney and McKinney Law Online are committed to remaining at the leading edge of law schools in terms of the number, quality, and relevance of their online offerings. For more information, contact Professor Max Huffman, Director of McKinney Law Online, or visit the website.
