First semester. First client. First interview. And that’s just the beginning.

As one of the oldest law schools in the country and the oldest in Pennsylvania, Dickinson Law has a rich legacy in experiential learning complemented by a rigorous academic program in a supportive yet challenging environment. You’ll learn from our accomplished faculty — preeminent scholars who have spent years practicing law — and continue to engage nationally and around the world with the legal profession through pro bono litigation, scholarship and more.

As a Dickinson Law student, you’ll benefit from:

  • Individualized attention and hands-on training as part of an intentionally small incoming class of roughly 100 students
  • Career-building opportunities in nearby major legal markets, including Harrisburg, Philadelphia, New York City, Baltimore, and Washington, D.C.
  • An unprecedented amount of scholarship funds, including our $60K Commonwealth Scholars Grant, and significant merit awards
  • The largest dues-paying alumni network of its kind in the world (We are Penn State!)
  • A unique, intensive initiative of faculty partnering with students in their career planning and job searches
