Whether you are looking to begin an exciting journey into the legal profession or simply to advance your current career, Quinnipiac Law’s part-time JD program can help you reimagine — and realize — professional possibilities in any number of fields, including corporate law, private practice, judicial or public interest law.
Whether you are a corporate professional, firefighter, police officer, teacher, paralegal or a busy parent, Quinnipiac’s part-time JD program is designed for those with the ambition to pursue a legal career, but who may also have work and family commitments or additional responsibilities. The part-time JD offers the same high-quality ABA-approved curriculum as our full-time JD program taught by the same highly experienced full-time faculty, ensuring that you receive the same rigorous preparation and commitment to practical learning.
As a part-time student, you are part of a highly supportive, collegial law school community that enables you to form close relationships and build strong professional networks. Merit scholarships and other forms of financial aid are available. You’ll have the same access to all career development and support services offered in the law school as well as student-run organizations, service work opportunities in communities both near and far, and resources that provide meaningful, hands-on experience.
If you have an interest in a particular area of law, you’ll have the option to chart a specialized path through one of nine distinct concentrations or enroll in one of our exceptional and unique dual-degree programs.

“The worlds of health care and law are intertwined and interdependent, yet I see a gap widening between the two every day. The system’s legal and regulatory components are intended to be helpful, but can be complicated and create frustration within both the legal and medical arenas. My plan is to combine the fields of health care and law to bridge that gap, strengthening health care and the greater community as well. The JD program at Quinnipiac Law has shown me so many ways to do this, and its flexibility has enabled me to continue doing the work I love.”
