As a May Student, You Will
- Take first-year courses over three semesters – summer, fall and spring – and still graduate from Cardozo in three years.
- Attend fall and spring first-year classes with fall-entry students and learn from the same renowned faculty as students who start in the fall.
- Automatically join the traditional full-time program in your second year, and graduate with fall-entry students in three years.
Annual tuition for the May program is equivalent to the tuition set for the fall full-time program. First-year tuition will be billed over the three semesters.
As someone who worked for a few years before law school, the May-Entry Program provided additional time to reacquaint myself with an educational environment and set me up for success as a law student. The May-Entry Program allowed me to build a strong social circle, meet professors and become familiar with the Cardozo community ahead of the Fall semester. I would recommend it to anyone considering it.
