Juris Doctor

Stonehill College and Villanova University School of Law have arranged direct-entry admission for qualified Stonehill students to pursue a doctorate in law at Villanova University School of Law. Two entry routes are available: a pathway where Stonehill study is followed by study at Villanova Law, with credits from the successful completion of the first year of law school transferring back to Stonehill to meet final graduation requirements; and a pathway where students apply to Villanova in their senior year and matriculate at the School of Law after graduating from Stonehill.

The program includes eligibility requirements and an application process with required materials. Applicants must submit an online application plus a personal statement, resume, official transcripts, LSAT scores, and a letter of recommendation. Admission decisions also depend on an interview with the School of Law prior to a final decision, and on meeting fitness, character, and other admission criteria set by the Office of Admission of the School of Law.
