LAW
The eligibility rules for taking the bar exam vary in each state. All prospective students should check with the Supreme Court in the state where they intend to take the bar exam regarding any specific rules pertaining to online law degrees. Completion of the online JD program does not satisfy the requirements to be eligible for admission to the bar in New York or West Virginia.
Colorado students will work with CSU College of Law on the participation of externships, as there may be limitations to in-person experiences. You may have an adjusted externship by completing the required hours remotely or through simulation. In lieu of a field externship, you may have the ability to complete a clinic.
