What are the graduation rates for students at New York Law School?

Conventional four-year and six-year undergraduate graduation rates are not useful measures of New York Law School's J.D. outcomes. A J.D. is a professional graduate degree, and completion should be assessed against the time allowed by the student's full-time or part-time program.

For a more relevant comparison, prospective students can examine the school's ABA-required disclosures for academic attrition, transfers, and degrees awarded, then compare those measures with bar-passage results. These figures answer different questions: finishing a degree does not by itself establish bar eligibility, bar passage, or employment. Students in a part-time program should also consider whether the published completion period reflects their intended course load.

What is the earning potential for graduates at New York Law School?

There is no single earnings figure that reliably describes what a New York Law School graduate can expect to make. Pay varies by job type, location, experience, hours, and whether a graduate enters legal practice; a salary reported for employed graduates also excludes people whose salaries were not reported.

The school's ABA employment disclosures are a better starting point than an unqualified salary claim. They distinguish positions by factors such as employment status, job type, and whether bar admission is required, measured at a specified point after graduation. Applicants should read the disclosure's reporting year and definitions, then compare likely earnings in the careers they want with projected borrowing and loan repayment. Employment statistics and salary information describe past cohorts, not individual guarantees.
