Certificate in International & Comparative Law

To earn a Certificate in International and Comparative Law, a student must complete the eighty-six semester hours required for the Juris Doctor degree and satisfy all JD requirements. Within the elective course work required for the JD degree, a student must complete fifteen (15) credit hours from the listed international and comparative law courses. Two courses are required, and three electives are required. All courses are three (3) credits unless otherwise indicated. Certificate courses may not be audited.

An applicant must maintain a minimum GPA of 3.00 in the Certificate courses. If a student takes more than the five courses required for the Certificate, all of the international and comparative courses will factor into the final GPA. A student must declare on this form all of the Certificate courses taken, even if a grade is not yet known.
