“My husband and I started the law school journey together, so a lot went into deciding a school that was a good fit for us both. His interests centered around environmental law and criminal law, but I was more of an open book — still am! So, we wanted a school that offered a wide range of opportunities as well as a school that was practical and affordable for having two law students in our household. Penn State Dickinson Law checked all of our boxes!”

“I wanted to find a law school with a strong community and a focus on justice. Penn State Dickinson Law met those criteria. I visited for the first time on Admitted Students Day and knew then that it was the law school for me.”

The conditional approval by the ABA allows Penn State Dickinson Law to enroll a unified J.D. class of 2028 in both Carlisle and University Park.
