Off-Campus Interview Programs
Wake Forest University School of Law participates in multiple off-campus interview programs. As a student, you have access to employers that may not participate in on-campus interviewing due to distance and time constraints or may be seeking students with specific backgrounds or interests.
Students should check back often for updates on student registration timelines and interview dates and locations for each program, as our website is updated when program dates are distributed. If you have questions about any interview program, please contact our Recruiting Manager in the Office of Career & Professional Development () or speak with your Career Advisor.
