Tuition and Fees (LL.M. and S.J.D.)

Tuition

In common with other U.S. law schools, tuition and fees at the University have increased annually in recent years. Applicants should expect tuition and fees to be higher for the 2024-25 academic year than the figures cited below.

Taking into account additional estimated expenses (other than travel costs), a typical budget for a single, nonresident graduate student for 2023-24 would be:

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

Health Insurance

Primary health care is available at no additional cost through the Department of Student Health. In addition, the University requires all students to carry health insurance covering accident, injury or illness that may require hospitalization or treatment beyond that provided by Student Health.

In order to ensure that all students have adequate health insurance coverage, the University has instituted a “hard waiver” program. Under this program, the University will bill all new and returning students in the fall for the annual cost of single-student coverage under the University’s endorsed student health plan.  Students may avoid having this cost billed to them if they demonstrate to Student Health that they have other health insurance coverage that meets the University’s specific coverage requirements.

For additional information on the hard waiver program, including what constitutes “comparable coverage,” please visit the Student Health Website. 

For questions regarding comparable coverage or the online waiver process, please contact Student Health by email at @email or telephone (434) 243-2702.

Students admitted to the University must complete a medical history form and obtain a physical and tuberculin skin test. Appropriate forms are available online in late spring on the Student Health Website.

All health requirements must be met prior to registration.
