International Students

International J.D. Program applicants who have earned undergraduate degrees from institutions outside the United States or Canada must register with the Law School Data Assembly Service (LSDAS), take the LSAT and comply with the other application requirements. An undergraduate degree earned outside the United States or Canada is acceptable for admission if it is determined to be equivalent to a bachelor's degree.

The financial resources required to attend Boalt Hall are substantial. Before committing the energy and financial resources required, international applicants need to obtain a visa and evaluate their ability to meet the total education costs. International applicants must be prepared to fund all their academic and living expenses. Even students who receive some fellowship assistance must be prepared to provide the approximately $58,556.00 (U.S.) required per academic year for educational and living expenses.

If the student is married and/or has children, an additional $7,000 is recommended for the spouse and an additional $4,000 is recommended for each child. These funds must be provided by either the applicant or the applicant's sponsor. Boalt Hall does not provide full tuition fellowships, tuition waivers or graduate teaching assistantships.
