Law School Admission Requirements and Process
There are 3 steps in our admissions process:
Step 1: Apply Online
You can apply and sign your enrollment agreement online. Once we receive your online application, an Admissions Advisor will reach out to walk you through the next steps and you will receive a copy of your completed enrollment agreement. You can contact an Admissions Advisor with questions at any point in the process.
Step 2: Complete the Concord Law School Online Admissions Exam
This exam is mandatory for all applicants, regardless of legal degree track. The format is a multiple-choice exam that tests reading comprehension and logical analysis, not legal knowledge. The exam can be taken from your home, office, or any location with a reliable internet connection. There’s no costly testing fee. A short no-cost online preparatory course is available to help you do your best on the exam.
Step 3: Submit Required Documents
Along with your completed online application, you must submit college or university transcripts in order to be considered for admission. LSAT scores are not required; however, if available, we encourage you to include them, as your score may make you eligible for a partial scholarship. Once all materials are received, your application is then presented to the Concord Admissions Committee for consideration. You’ll receive notification about your application promptly.
Additional Admissions Requirements
Applicants who earned their bachelor's degree from an institution accredited by an accrediting organization recognized by the U.S. Department of Education (such as the Distance Education and Accrediting Commission) will be considered for admission to Concord's law programs. In general, students should have a 3.0 or better cumulative grade point average from their undergraduate work.
