Juris Doctor Program Admissions

To be eligible for admission into the Juris Doctor program, an applicant must hold a baccalaureate degree from an accredited college or university prior to registration. All applicants must take the Law School Admission Test, LSAT, which is administered in June, September, December and February at testing locations throughout the country. OU Law also requires each student to register for the Credential Assembly Service (CAS, formerly LSDAS) through www.LSAC.org. Applicants should take the LSAT as early as possible, but no later than February of the year in which admission to OU Law is sought. Click here for additional details about admissions.
