Courses
Overview
KU Law students take a core curriculum of doctrinal classes in their first year, along with the first-year Lawyering Skills Program. Upper-level students have access to more than 100 courses and can design their own paths.
More than 75% of upper-level classes have 25 or fewer students. First-year students take half their classes in small sections. Those small working groups allow for personal interaction with professors and an informal learning environment that encourages in-depth discussion.
Students looking for a guided approach to a specific area of law can choose from several certificate programs and explore more than a dozen curriculum guides.
First-Year Courses
Two of your first-year courses will be taught in a small section of about 20 students. This small group provides personal interaction with professors. Small sections offer an informal learning atmosphere that encourages in-depth discussion and analysis, and the opportunity to bond with classmates.
