Students can expect the very same course materials at Concord Law School as they would at any campus law school, including rigorous syllabi, casebooks, and supplementary materials. Courses are designed to make use of online lectures, and occasional synchronous class sessions, with coursework typically including asynchronous directed readings, essays, and problem sets.

Are there opportunities to network and meet other online students?

Students at Concord Law School have a great opportunity to meet classmates outside of the classroom using our Student Roster feature, which allows students to post photos, create a profile, and provide their contact information. The Student Roster is a way for students to learn about their classmates, as well as find study group partners and network with others.

Concord also hosts offline events, allowing individuals to meet each other in-person. Through classroom interaction and social networking, our students are able to take advantage of both "on-campus" and "off-campus" collaboration.
