Distance Learning Law Degree FAQ
- Is it really possible to get a legal degree online?
Absolutely. More distance learning degrees are available all the time, including law degrees. There are many that are available online now, from both traditional universities and online-only colleges and universities. - What universities and colleges offer a distance learning law degree program?
It would take too long to list them all! But some of the most popular online legal and criminal justice degrees are offered by institutions like Ashford University, Concord Law School, Walden University, Rasmussen College, Strayer University, Capella University, St. Leo University, and the University of the Rockies.
- Are distance learning law degree programs accredited?
Reputable ones are; you should always check the accreditation of the school as well as any additional necessary accreditation for the program you’re interested in to make sure they comply with the requirements your needs dictate. Don’t rely on the school’s claims alone, either. You’ll want to check their accreditation with another source, one that’s unbiased and reliable. - How do I check the accreditation of a university or college offering online legal degrees?
For the school itself, check the US Department of Education website to confirm that they are accredited by one of the six regional associations recognized by the Dept. of Ed. For the legal program, depending on your purposes, you may want a program that is approved by the American Bar Association (ABA).
- Can a distance learning law degree qualify me to take the bar exam?
That depends on a lot of different factors. Whether or not a degree is obtained through online study isn’t one of them. You need to check first your state’s regulations governing bar exam eligibility. If your state requires a degree from an ABA approved program, then you’ll need to make sure your program is ABA approved.
