Gain Legal Knowledge to Grow Your Career
with a JDET Program

The legal system has an ever-increasing impact on both the personal and business lives of nearly all individuals. Our online Juris Doctor Executive Track program is designed for individuals who desire a broad-based education in business law to enhance their current career, to obtain a clearer understanding of the regulatory process, to increase their ability to interact with the legal system, to improve their ability to anticipate potential legal problems both personally and professionally, or simply for personal enrichment. In addition to obtaining a comprehensive legal education in matters related to business, graduates benefit from increased analytical reasoning and communication skills.

Our Juris Doctor Executive Track program is not intended to, and will not, qualify graduates to sit for any bar examination. This affords the student greater flexibility in the completion of the program. For many, it is the best alternative for individuals that hold a strong interest in the law but have no desire to become an attorney.

Many law school graduates use their legal knowledge in areas outside the legal profession. Accountants, medical professionals, law enforcement officers, educators, and many others have found legal training to be beneficial in their daily activities as well as increasing their career opportunities.

Choose the Learning Modality that Fits Your Lifestyle

When you enroll in our online JDET program, we offer the option to choose between Independent Study or Directed Study so that your program will fit your lifestyle and learning style.


Independent Study

Our Independent Study modality gives you the flexibility to fit your program around your career and lifestyle.

While independent study courses have detailed course syllabi and clearly defined student learning outcomes, students do not have required weekly assignments or required weekly interaction with faculty. The courses of each academic year must be completed within the 49th to 52nd weeks, however within this period, the timing of the completion of the coursework generally lies with the student. This format allows maximum flexibility in allocating time between a student’s academic, professional, and personal life.

Each course in the program contains a series of lessons, generally consisting of reading assignments supplemented occasionally by various multimedia. Students are evaluated through writing assignments and examinations, which are submitted for faculty evaluation.

Pay tuition in installments completely interest-free. Monthly start dates available.

Directed Study

Our Directed Study modality offers a more structured and collaborative online learning experience.

Students will move through the program with a cohort of other students while completing a series of weekly scheduled lessons, generally consisting of reading assignments supplemented occasionally by various multimedia, in addition to regular online asynchronous discussions, giving them the ability to interact with one another. Students are evaluated through writing assignments, examinations, and discussion participation, which are submitted for faculty evaluation.

Although students are not required to login at any specific time of day, weekly attendance and participation is monitored and required to maintain satisfactory academic progress and enrollment. Each academic year consist of 49 to 52 weeks of study.

Directed Study students may apply for federal financial aid to cover the cost of their education, or students may pay tuition in installments completely interest-free.
