Academic Program
"I believe that statistics in a magazine cannot truly communicate the quality of legal education a student can receive. The intellectual and personal growth I have experienced here is directly related to the vigor and passion for educating that is displayed by the faculty." — Mojirayo Fanimokun, Class of 2008
Washburn University School of Law prides itself on its successful, student-centered approach to teaching. We begin by providing students with an environment conducive to learning. We offer classes large enough to include multiple perspectives and contrary ideas, yet small enough to encourage student interaction with professors and classmates. An open-door policy invites students to meet with professors outside of class. A collegial atmosphere embraces diversity and an open exchange of views.
Our comprehensive core curriculum has been thoughtfully structured to ensure that every Washburn Law student receives a solid foundation in the law. Nearly 150 courses, seminars and clinical offerings are available. As a result, Washburn Law graduates are well prepared to put their legal education to work in a wide range of settings, from the courtroom to the boardroom.
Every step of the way, from the first year through graduation, Washburn Law's comprehensive curriculum and innovative programs prepare law students for success in the legal profession.
