Summer Abroad Programs and Guidelines at New York Law School

New York Law School permits students in good academic standing to take courses and earn academic credits only through American Bar Association-approved summer abroad programs.

Listing of Summer Programs:

• Listings of ABA-approved summer abroad programs (with brief descriptions of each program) are available in alphabetical order by country name: A through C / D through F / G through L, and M through Z.
• For the original links to ABA-approved summer abroad programs (which don't contain brief descriptions of the programs), please visit the ABA study abroad homepage.

Summer Abroad Guidelines:

• The Center for International Law does not handle the logistics for study abroad.
• Instead, students must obtain permission from the Office of Academic Affairs (2nd Floor of the "A" building) before attending a summer abroad program. All courses must also be approved in advance. Please visit the Office of Academic Affairs (2nd Floor of the "A" Building) to fill out a permission form. That office has also posted a list of frequently asked questions (and answers) concerning study abroad.
• New York Law School will transfer up to six credits from a summer abroad program and apply them towards the 86 credits needed for graduation, provided that the grade received was a "C" or higher. Students will receive credit only, since New York Law School does not accept or transfer the grades received.
• Please note that credit will be given for only one summer abroad program. Furthermore, students should be aware that, generally, residence credit will not be awarded for a summer abroad program and, therefore, students may not use such programs to accelerate their date of graduation. (Resident credit is awarded only for those programs in which the in-class component of the program is at least eight weeks long.)
