The 2025-2026 Health Insurance Premium is $2,842 ($1,421 per semester). The benefits period is August 1 through July 31.

SJD Students

Students who will be accompanied by dependent family members should budget an additional $7,000 for a spouse and $4,000 for each accompanying child.

Following the first year of required residency, SJD students will register for six (6) credit hours of Supervised Dissertation during each semester until the dissertation is completed and the degree is awarded. During this period, the student will be charged a discounted tuition rate. The 2025-2026 tuition rate for returning SJD students is $28,960, or $14,480 per semester.

Financial assistance for graduate education is quite limited. There are no law school scholarships or research or teaching assistantships available for SJD candidates.
