Online Courses and Flex-Time Option

Student typing on computer in Beeson Law Library Online Learning
Cumberland has one of the region’s largest offerings of online courses delivered solely by Internet.  Each class is designed as a self-contained, fully-interactive instructional law school course and is taught by our regular faculty.

Cumberland Flex-Time Option
Designed for individuals who cannot attend school full time, the Flex Option enables the student to complete a degree in five years or less, with a minimum of eight credit hours and a maximum of nine credit hours each semester.  The admissions process and requirements are the same as for the full-time program.  When applying, applicants must indicate whether they are interested in flex time option.   

The flex time option is ideal for non-traditional students, professionals who wish to maintain their employment while carrying a slightly reduced course load or parents of school-age children.   Flex-time students attend classes during the day with full-time students and pay an hourly tuition rate.

It will take approximately two years to complete one’s foundation courses, but there is more flexibility in choosing one’s course schedule (including some evening and online course options) after those core classes are completed and electives begin.  Contact the Admissions Office for details.
