Study Abroad Programs
Students at the School of Law may expand their horizons by studying abroad. Students must complete their first year coursework (two semesters for full time day division students and three semesters for evening division students) before participating in study abroad programs. A student must have at least a 2.000 grade point average at the time of the student's application to any of the study abroad programs.
After consultation with the Office of Academic Affairs, qualified students may study abroad through a University of Baltimore summer study abroad or semester exchange program, through another law school's ABA-accredited study abroad program, or, in rare cases, at a foreign institution that is not accedited by the ABA.
