NWCU Law Tuition Rising, Lower Rate Locked-In for Applicants By February 28 2025

[Jonathan Whatley]

Northwestern California University School of Law (NWCU Law) just requires an associates for entry into their program, if I recall correctly.  What you can do is, try to get a Bachelors degree first, or try to incorporate their classes into a Bachelors that allows 30-60 credits of electives... With proper planning, you can get an Associates, Bachelors, plus a JD for an incredible price point...

NWCU Law credits could not be transferred to most bachelor's because by the most common definition of the word, NWCU is unaccredited: it holds no accreditation from a DOED or CHEA recognized agency, such as WASC, DEAC, or the ABA. Its accreditation is from the State Bar of California (CalBar).

There are some non-ABA, CalBar accredited or registered law schools which additionally hold DOED/CHEA recognized accreditation, such as Purdue Global (RA) and Taft (NA DEAC).
