What it costs, how graduates fare
- Tuition2025-26
$24,864–$40,978 full-time · resident to non-resident · plus $2,968 annual fees
Living expenses $38,342 on campus
Tuition and the fees the school certifies alongside it — not a full cost of attendance.
Verified 2026-08-27 · ABA Standard 509 report
- Bar passageclass of 2025
86.3%first-time+3.0
83.4% is the average for all ABA-accredited schools’ graduates in the same jurisdictions this school’s graduates sat in · 139 of 161 first-time takers passed
96.7% of the class of 2023 were admitted within two years of graduating
A pass rate on its own says as much about which states a school feeds as about the school, so the ABA’s own like-for-like average is shown with it.

- Employmentclass of 2025
136 of 167 (81.4%) in full-time, long-term jobs requiring bar admission
Ten months after graduation · 27 more in JD-advantage jobs · 0 still seeking · 2 of the bar-admission jobs are funded by the school
The ABA collects employment status and job type only. It collects no salary, so no salary figure comes from this filing.

- First-year attrition2024-25
5.0% of the first-year class · 5 students
No law school publishes a graduation rate, so this is not one. It is the students who left in their first year, academic and other, as filed. Transfers out are reported separately and are not counted here.

- EarningsCollege Scorecard
Not a starting salary.
$77,057 median one year after finishing · $135,661 after four
$107,773 is the national median at four years for the same credential
A College Scorecard median for 2017-18 and 2018-19 completers who received federal aid, measured a fixed number of years after they finished — not what this year’s graduates are being paid, and not a figure the school or the ABA publishes. The ABA collects no salary data at all.
