Massachusetts School of Law offers both a three year, full-time program of study, and a four year part-time program.

Students may attend either day or evening classes as they progress through the semester in order to accommodate their often unpredictable schedules.

Full-time students normally take fifteen credit hours per semester, while part-time students take eleven to twelve credit hours. Students may take no more than five courses per semester.

Any student who has completed at least two semesters, and has a grade point average of at least 2.7 in officially released grades, may take up to seventeen credit hours.

In their last semester, students may not take more than twelve credit hours.
