Yale Law School

International Students

<p>Currently I’m still in high school and plan on studying law at Yale.</p>

<p>The thing is, I find Yale system to be very confusing.</p>

<p>[Yale</a> Law School | How to Apply](<a href=“http://www.law.yale.edu/admissions/howtoapply.htm]Yale”>http://www.law.yale.edu/admissions/howtoapply.htm) here, every program requires me to already have bachelor’s degree. I can’t find undergraduate programs…can anyone help please?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>In the US, law and medicine are graduate degrees. You have to have an undergraduate bachelor’s degree to apply.</p>

<p>LAW is a GRADUATE program. So is medicine. </p>

<p>A Bachelor’s is a prerequisite.</p>

<p>It would make no sense for an international student to go to Yale law school, US law will not be applicable in your country so I doubt they accept internationals.</p>

<p>Thanks Frank. =[ US system generally confuses me. Ugrh</p>

<p>And just to clarify, the prerequisite Bachelor’s degree can be in any subject from physics to history to marketing (though writing-intensive or analytical majors are often preferred). They just want you to get an undergraduate degree first.</p>

<p>Ah…yeah. Thanks a lot barmlum. =]]</p>

<p>Some international students who complete law degrees in their home countries come to the USA for post-graduate studies in law. The courses that they take are not necessarily the same as the ones a US law student would take because they usually aren’t interested in passing the US Bar Exams. Most often they pursue a Master’s or Ph.D. program in a specific field, such as International or Corporate law.</p>
