Educational Objective
Arizona State University as an institution recognizes the growing importance of international study for well-educated students as evidenced by its goal to increase student study abroad in the coming years.
Eligibility
To be eligible to participate in the law student exchange program, students must be in good academic standing, must be in their third year (3L) or second semester of their second year (2L) of law studies and must be approved for exchange study by the College of Law. Students who have transferred to the ASU College of Law are not eligible to apply for an exchange program until they have completed a minimum of 12 credits of ASU law school work. Note that per College of Law policy, a maximum of 15 study abroad credits can be applied to the JD degree.
In addition to the cultural and educational benefits of an exchange program, the financial benefit is that Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law students participating in the program pay the tuition and fees for ASU, not for the exchange institution. However, space in each exchange program is limited and the College of Law may not be able to accommodate participation by all eligible students in a given semester.
