WHY CINCINNATI LAW IS A BEST VALUE…

1. Tuition rates far lower than most law schools nationally
2. Residency options that allow all students to pay tuition at virtually in-state rates (even for the first year)
3. Intentional limiting of each year’s incoming class to approximately 135 students—allowing for more personal attention and a low student to faculty ratio of 11:1
4. Scholarships awarded to approximately two-thirds of all students
5. Most generous scholarship renewal policy possible with only good academic standing required to renew—over the last five years our renewal rate is 100% for all scholarships
6. Metropolitan Cincinnati is one of the most affordable areas to live in the nation
7. Strong  job placement rates with over 90% of the Class of 2010 either employed or enrolled in a full-time degree program within nine months of graduation
8. Excellent bar passage rates, with Cincinnati Law graduates ranking #1 out of the nine Ohio law schools on the July 2011 Ohio Bar Exam
9. Average student loan debt for the Class of 2011 was $70,168—well below the national average of approximately $100,000 as reported by the Law School Admission Council
10. Summer and academic year experiences like legal and judicial externships, fellowships, and our Summer Public Interest Fellowship program that assist in launching careers
