Tuition and Costs: J.D. Program
Tuition and Living Expenses
The University of Dayton School of Law charges tuition per credit hour rather than per academic year. The cost per credit hour for the Traditional and Two-Year J.D. programs is $1,237 for the 2021-2022 academic year. For the Online Hybrid J.D. program the cost per credit hour is $1,500 for the 2021-2022 academic year.
To encourage you to devote your full attention to the rigors of the first year of law school, UDSL policy prohibits employment during the first year (with the exception of holiday and summer breaks). After your first year, you may pursue part-time employment to help with tuition and other costs.
