The School of Law offers the following degrees:
Bachelor of Science in Law (B.S.L) Doctor of Jurisprudence (J.D)

First Level of Degree: Bachelor of Science in Law
This is an undergraduate, non-professional baccalaureate degree. It combines a broad-based general education with a foundation in the law and integrates formal academic learning with a variety of life experiences, including working in the legal profession under the supervision of an attorney. The degree may be earned while pursuing the degree Doctor of Jurisprudence.

Second Level of Degree: Doctor of Jurisprudence
The Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree is a 4-year graduate, professional degree. The degree will be granted to those students who successfully complete 96 credits of law study.

J.D Bar Eligibility
It is required that students seeking California Bar eligibility complete the First through Fourth Years of law courses. The program requires 864 study hours per year to be completed during a period of not less than 48 or more than 52 consecutive weeks of study. Once study is commenced for one part of the program that year of the course must be completed within the 48 to 52 consecutive weeks time frame. Students who are not seeking Bar eligibility need only complete the First through Third Years. The Fourth Year Courses are not required of the "Non-Bar" students since the knowledge to be gained from the courses included in the Fourth Year would likely be of value only to those intending to practice law in the State of California. It is the student's responsibility to ensure that California Bar eligibility is followed. Any student seeking to practice law as an attorney in California must complete a Degree Plan that complies with the course and time frame requirements of the California Committee of Bar Examiners.

Law School Admission Requirements
In general, the School of Law applies with equal force the California Bar Pre-legal Education Regulations to both our Bar-program and Non-bar program applicants. Thus, before beginning the study of law, every general applicant shall have either:

• Complete either two years of college work, which college work shall be not less then one-half of the collegiate work acceptable for a bachelor's degree granted upon the basis of a four-year period of study by a college or a university approved by the Committee: or
• Attained in apparent intellectual ability the equivalent of at least two years of college determined by taking any examinations in such subject matters and achieving the scores thereon as are prescribed by the Committee.
• completed two years of college work, and shall have earned at least 60 credits, or 90 quarter units of college credit with an average grade of at least equal to that required for graduation.

A college or university approved by the Committee shall be college or university that has degree granting authority from the state in which it resides.

Thus, AHUSC School of Law recognizes the Associate degrees from recognized institutions in the United States and other jurisdictions. In the absence of an Associate degree, the School of Law recognizes sixty-semester (60) units of college work or its quarterly equivalent for admission into its Non-bar J.D program. For those prospective law students with sixty-semester (60) units of college, but without an Associate degree, it is recommended that such students obtain an undergraduate evaluation from the California State Bar prior to enrollment.

General Education Requirements
Those who have not completed at least two years of college may satisfy the general education requirements necessary for enrollment into the BSL or J.D program provided the applicant attain passing scores on the following general examinations administered by the College Level Examination Program (C.L.E.P):
