Brooklyn Law School

What is the cost of studying for a year at Brooklyn Law School?

Brooklyn Law School's published graduate charges make tuition a major part of the attendance budget. For 2024-25, reported full-time graduate tuition was the same for in-state and out-of-state students. These figures are from that reporting year, not a quote for a future entering class.

• 2024-25 full-time graduate tuition: $70,080 for the academic year.
• 2024-25 required graduate fees: $800, separate from tuition.
• 2024-25 part-time graduate tuition: $2,473 per credit hour.

Tuition plus the stated required fees totals $70,880 for that full-time academic year, before housing, food, books, transportation, health coverage, and personal expenses. Part-time students need a budget based on their actual credits and applicable fees rather than the full-time total. The school's current cost-of-attendance budget and an individual aid offer are the appropriate tools for estimating future borrowing: the published price is not necessarily the amount a student ultimately pays.

Financing may include institutional scholarships, federal graduate loans for eligible students, outside awards, and qualifying veterans' benefits. J.D. students generally should not build a budget around undergraduate grant programs. Scholarship renewal conditions, loan interest, and living expenses can materially change the cost across the whole degree.

What are the work-study opportunities at Brooklyn Law School?

Brooklyn Law School students can seek paid work, but a job should not be assumed to be part of a financial-aid award. Federal Work-Study, where offered to an eligible student, is a need-based student-employment program: it provides wages for hours worked rather than money automatically credited like a scholarship.

Students can also pursue ordinary part-time jobs and paid legal work for which they qualify. Externships and clinics serve academic or professional-training purposes and should not be treated as paid employment unless a particular position expressly provides wages. The financial aid office can clarify Work-Study eligibility and job procedures; the career office is the more relevant starting point for legal internships, employer events, résumé review, and interview preparation.
