Kline School of Law Graduate Non-Matriculated
Drexel University recognizes that some students may wish to complete online courses within Drexel University’s Thomas R. Kline School of Law without being enrolled in a degree or certificate-granting program. Students often choose this option because they wish to take coursework for professional growth and not toward a particular degree or certificate program.
The Kline School of Law is the only law school in Pennsylvania to be accredited by PACLE (Pennsylvania Continuing Legal Education) to provide distance learning CLE credits. As such, lawyers admitted to practice in Pennsylvania who take online graduate level or advanced degree courses at Kline may claim CLE credit as permitted by PACLE regulation 5(f) governing Credit for Law School and Graduate Level Courses.
If you are interested in applying as a non-matriculated student, select "Non-Matriculated – School of Law (Online)" as your program of interest on the online application. Official transcripts and a resume are required. Non-matriculated students are not eligible for financial aid.
Students wishing to take courses for bar eligibility cannot take these online classes. If you are interested in bar eligibility, please contact lawadmissions@drexel.edu.
State restrictions may apply to some programs.
