The Hybrid Learning Experience

In less than four years, you can earn your Juris Doctor from anywhere while maintaining your professional and personal commitments.

Taught by School of Law faculty who are experts in the legal field, the comprehensive curriculum combines the traditional Socratic method exercised in classrooms with an innovative online experience. Dive into key subjects that every attorney must master, such as civil procedure, constitutional law, evidence, torts, contracts and criminal law.

As an Online Hybrid J.D. student, you will:

  • Attend live, face-to-face sessions with classmates and faculty, allowing you to ask questions in real time.
  • Engage in interactive video classes and conversations modeling the Socratic method.
  • Study cases in depth through professionally produced online course materials.
  • Deepen your understanding of course content during 10 in-person learning sessions on our Dayton, Ohio, campus.

Apply the skills you’ve gained during a real-world legal setting externship—which can be completed over the course of two semesters—in your legal career.
