Complete Your JD Program Online
Legal studies graduate degrees earned online are increasingly common because they offer you the opportunity to advance your legal career while continuing to work full-time.
For example, working on your online Juris Doctor (JD) professional degree allows you to maintain full-time employment – perhaps in a related field like legal secretary – while taking your legal courses as time permits. Completing a legal studies graduate program presents you with financial advantages as well; according to the U.S. Department of Labor Statistics, professionals who hold a doctorate can earn up to $30,000 more annually than someone with only a bachelor’s degree.
Sample Degree – Juris Doctor (JD)
The JD professional degree requires about three years of full-time postgraduate study. It is required to practice law, and graduates must also pass their state bar exam. Lawyers typically specialize in a particular area of law, such as criminal law or tax law.
