FlexJD Goes National
To expand access to a top-tier legal education, Northeastern Law will extend its FlexJD program to prospective students across the nation beginning in fall 2023. The hybrid, four-year FlexJD is ideally suited for well-qualified, working professionals who intend to continue full-time employment while pursuing a law degree. The ABA-approved program is delivered through flexible, remote courses, a series of required on-campus meetings and co-ops.
“Our FlexJD students have embraced self-paced and online coursework since the program launched for Boston-area students in fall 2021,” said Dean James Hackney. “This is an exciting time for working professionals who want to earn a law degree on their own schedule and take advantage of our leadership in practical legal training. The FlexJD program makes a first-rate legal education accessible to students wherever they are.”
